<VV> Unique fan belt keeper-oner humor

[Jason Cesana]

Got me thinking about what car we could use? I'd say a 60 cause with that
big ol concave nose you could stuff some fancy gadgets on the nose and not
stick out past the bumper!!

Now you got me going wondering what would have happened to the Corvair if Dr
Emmett Brown got hold of it. The 1960's seems to be a period Back To The
Future seems to have ignored.  Maybe somebody will write a prequel?

Can someone put that in laymens terms, all I got was that the flux capacitor
was going bad. GGGGG

Oh, that cleared it right up for me... <big grin>

But, thanks for trying!
