<VV> the crazy things people say about Vairs'

When I was purchasing the compressor last night, the old boy who was  
trying to answer my questions about the compressor (not very well, I  
might add) saw my North Texas Corvair Society t-shirt and commented  
that he owned one before.  I asked him how he liked it, and he stated  
that he hated it.  He told me that the engine had dropped out of it  
twice.  I told him that who ever had worked on it had probably  
forgotten to install the cotter pin in the nut that supported the  
rear of the engine (I'm not entirely versed on the earlies and so I  
was winging it - how'd I do?).  Anyway, he had owned it so many years  
ago that I had to point out which version he had by pointing to the  
examples printed on the shirt.  Besides, if he had it fall out TWICE,  
that speaks volumes to the owner / driver.
