Not so much for several of the commentators who dropped off remarks 
at the site...  ;)


"The Corvair is the car that was proclaimed "the car that is unsafe 
at any speed" owing to its weight in the rear and its 
suspension."   There's always a Nimrod who has to spout a 
cliche.   What IS it with these people?   Proclaimed by 
who?   Nader?   ...as if he's an expert?   Or those who parrot him 
like good little sycophants...



"I'll make a bet that no Corvair owner ever changed a 
starter."        Who did he think changed them?    Dealerships?   Or, 
did he infer that Corvair starters last forever thus never need 
changing?    Would they rather change a starter on a Caddy STS?  Or, 
how about a starter on a 426 Hemi engine with headers?


...I had to replace the brushes in a '60 starter about 20 years 
ago.   It's still starting.   Maybe this time it WILL last forever.






A remarkable thing happened regarding a Corvair that was, with the 
help of a pack of people on this list, transported halfway across the 
country to present it to a son whose father had passed on, which is 
in my opinion something to revel in and appreciate.

My respects to the people who made it happen...and my -annoyance- to 
those who would smart off about it.
