<VV> PARK PAWL ON PG'S

[Charles Lee]

No offense intended, though that's the way it might have sounded !

But you have to admit that two speeds are not as good as four to really
appreciate the Corvair.

Wouldn't you have ordered a 3-speed auto if it had been available (or if
it would even fit) ?

So the people who bought PG's (the majority) didn't appreciate the
Corvairs roadworthiness? I keep my PG Corvairs handbrake working
properly by periodically lubing the moving parts and making sure routing
of parts is proper. I do not have a "NO PARK" problem.
