<VV> Benefits of CORSA

[John Howell]

I subscribe to quite a few auto magazines and get a lot of good information 
and enjoy each one but the one I most look forward to is the CORSA 
Communique !  To me this Corvair magazine is worth the price of membership 
all other benefits are just icing on the cake !
In our local club I am sorry to say that about half of the members are not 
CORSA members, I can not understand anyone that professes to like Corvairs 
would choose to not be a CORSA member.
