<VV> fishtailing??

[J R Read_HML]

I did not take that as an attack on Corvair, but an indication that a young 
driver was going too fast on a dangerous (blind?) curve (could have been ANY 
vehicle) and caused a fatal accident.  Mom seems to want to deflect the 
blame ELSEWHERE.  BUT, she DID say how bad her son feels about it.

To me, a letter to the paper is ludicrous and close to being an insult to 
those involved.

Later, JR

'65 Monza Convertible 4/140
'66 beater Coupe - "icemobile" 4/140
