<VV> The EM disease.. how does it start?

[BBRT]

No, there is no cure. You are screwed.  You have IT; the dreaded Covairitis. 
There are five known versions of Corvairitis. An early symptom is a fever, 
followed by delusional thoughts, such as acquiring additional cars of the 
late or early persuasion, depending on which symptom is dominant.  Second, 
lusting after an early model when first enamored by a late model.  Another 
form of this disease manifests in the reverse; having early models and then 
thinking that a late model is fascinating... The Fourth known version of it 
is the tendency to buy an FC which has its own quirks, not the least of 
which is the feeling of floating while driving.  Finally, and perhaps the 
deadliest version is the desire to acquire an Ultravan.  This aversion is to 
be avoided if possible.  The easiest solution/treatment is to "go with it" . 
Turns out, you can live a pretty long life having Corvairitis, meeting 
wonderful people of all personalities, some knowledgeable, some not, and 
some who just think they are, and participate on either or both sides of the 
Early vs. Late discussions; talk out of both sides of your mouth, as it 
were...

LOL!

    Late Corvairs were one of the first cars I learned to recognize (keep in 
mind I'm only 26),  and I always thought they were neat.  Back in 2001 I 
bought a 66' Monza 110 and loved it... I've owned two more late models since 
and I've always thought the earlies were... wierd looking.

     Recently I've caught my eyes lingering on early coupes and verts..... 
and thinking.. you know some of them are kinda nice.  What's worse the lates 
are starting to look a tad bit bland by comparison.  Now I was sure this was 
just a passing fascination... or that I was running a fever (come to think 
of it I have had a fever the past week), but today I called my girlfriend 
from work and encouraged her to go take a look at a nice early coupe I found 
for sale next weekend if we get her yellow Fiero Formula sold at Carlisle on 
Thursday or Friday...

     What is happening to me?  Has anyone else experienced these strange 
symptoms?  Is there a cure?
