<VV> Downer over broken car

[J R Read_HML]

Mike,

I think I might have the solution for you.  Buy at least one more Corvair! 
That way, when one breaks you still have one to drive.

BTW, new cars break too.  The difference is that you fix your own Corvair 
(or get help) and you take your civilian car to someone else.  More often 
than not, the Corvair is cheaper to repair than the civilian car with a 
similar problem.
