<VV> Corvair Myths

[Dave Morris "BigD"]

I just got finished arguing with a guy who had his Pintos and his Corvairs 
confused.  He said he had a "friend" who was horribly burned when his car 
was hit from behind and the fuel tank exploded because "those bastards at 
GM wouldn't spend $1.95 extra" to put the fuel tank somewhere it was protected.

LOL!  When I'm reincarnated, I want to come back as PT Barnum.
