<VV> RE: End of the line for Corvair Axle Plant - no Corvair

[Ron]

Our trouble is that China has now learned how to produce high quality items 
in large quantities, something we really never learned how to do.  Even our 
Sanyo (Japanese) vacuum cleaner was made in China!  The Chinese cars will be 
a real threat when they start coming.
