<VV> ignorant idiots and their faux pas

[Mark Corbin]

You got that right, Lonzo. Also unless I was refering to a dual-cowl
phaeton or town car. Then and only then would the term "rear windshield" be
applicable. And of all the various mods I've seen to Corvairs over all the
conventions, meets, etc. over the years, I have yet to see a Corvair made
into either one (though they both would be REALLY interesting.) Did I just
give a hint to some really creative body man? (G)
