<VV> ignorant idiots and their faux pas

[LonzoVair at aol.com]

Terry,
I'd like to think he was meaning "power" brakes, but the fool referred to  
the different brakes as "mechanical" and "hydraulic"... and this coming from an  
engineering rag.... ???
This is even worse than Mark Corbin uttering "rear windshield" in  
conversation!!!!!!
(which I'm certain he'll say has never happened... right Mark?)... (unless  
he was pointing out someone's gaffe.) 
:-)

There is a chance that the writer was refering to "Power" assisted  brakes.  
A friend of mine that drives one of my Corvairs once in awhile  said the 
brakes felt different . . . . I asked him when was the last time he  drove a 
non-power brake car . . . he couldn't  remember.
