<VV> Re: Deck lids, Kelsey-Hayes wheels tangent

Except that the Corvair's "trunk lid" is in the "front deck lid" but I guess 
WE all know that ...

It's when we mix we people whose cars are backwards that we have to start 
explaining which is which (i.e.: their engine is in the front)

I want a bumper sticker (not that I would put one on my car) that says "My 
other car has its engine where it belongs" or "This is my backwards Corvair" 
for my front-driver.
