I'm considering selling my pristine, restored 64 Spyder, and would like to
see it go to a home where it might be viewed and enjoyed by others. I'm
thinking Jay's Garage would be a good fit. I looked at the Garage site, but
saw no way to contact Jay nor the proprietor. Can anyone supply an email
address to Jay Leno?
Thank you,
Mike Mauro

We had a Morris Minor dealership in the town where I grew up , so they
were quite common there in the late fifties, early sixties -- and nobody
bought a "new" car for economy, they bought used cars 'cause they were
less money, ie, more economical. The mpg was not an economy
consideration in those days, as gas was insignificantly cheap, but the
cost of the car and insurance was what made it economical (or not), and
little, used, low hp cars were way cheaper to insure for a teenage son.
A Vette would often have higher insurance payments than car payments. We
had a Chrysler New Yorker, and later, a Jag sedan, for a family car in
those days, plus a plethora of Morris Minors (still own a Traveler), a
DKW, and yes, a VW bug (which my sister rolled) and a bit later, the 356
Porsche that I now have via purchase (Dad wasn't gonna just "give" a
Porsche away, although it too was a used $400 "economy" car when he
bought it).
If you bought a New Corvair, it was because you wanted a new car, not an
economy car, and thought that rear engine to get around in the winter
like the VW's was a good idea, but you didn't want one of those tiny
German cars -- after all, you landed on the beach in Normandy and
survived, and you didn't wnt to give the Germans a second crack at you
(recall, above, I described what my sister did to the one VW Dad had
bought ...). Don't know how the Porsche got through after that -- I
think Mom thought it was "cute", and she could be quite persuasive in
those days, fully understanding the value of "cute".
My first, and second, and third, etc, Corvairs were "economy" cars --
bought in the early 70's for $25-$50, until I fell in love with that
Corsa dash instrument cluster and bought a drivable 140 '65 Corsa coupe
out of a wrecking yard for $200 (eeew - Big Spender), followed by a
slightly wrecked 66 Corsa Vert 180. By then I must've been thinking I
was rich -- paid $350, in installments. Stilll less than Dad paid for
that Porsche ...

Say, there's an idea too! Lets force all members of CORSA who do NOT
belong to their nearest chapter, to join! If you want to be in CORSA, you MUST
be a member of your chapter also!
The SBE (Society of Broadcast Engineers) is set up so when you join the
SBE, you are automatically able to join a local chapter at no cost (with a
few minor exceptions) The SBE national organization pays a "rebate" of
memberships dues paid to the national organization to the local chapters.
Hmmmm. Interesting idea perhaps?

I had a 68 Chevy II/Nova in the late 80's with a 153 CI 4. Ran great but
fuel milage wasn't anything to brag about, that little engine could rev.
Sold
it to a guy who put the engine in a boat!!!! It had both names on the car,
NOVA on rear fenders and ChevyII on hood and decklid. Ed in Fla

How old do you think a tire should/must be replaced even if it isn't worn
out?
My van tires(Michelin) were made in '02, which may be getting to their
limit. Most Corvair tires never get worn out if you drive less than 5M per
year. I thought my Corvair tires were fairly new, but looking at the dates
they go back to '03.. Ken

Decent price, performance, and wear - I don't particularly want tires to last
80k, due to the age cracking Joe mentioned. We got 50k out of the tires on
her truck, and 45 or so out of the T/As I put on the Neon. The wagon is
going to be riding on BFG g-Force Sports as soon as this weekend's rain passes,
my guess is we'll replace them due to age, not mileage. They are a summer
tire, but in all honesty the Corvairs just don't get driven much when it's
cold out and never really in the snow anymore.

See how many members you lose when you "force" them to do something.
I am 90 miles from the nearest chapter. I will not join a chapter I
will never attend a meeting with

Wow. I guess making that point was pretty fast. So.... there are members
of CORSA who do not participate in chapter activities do not belong to a
chapter, do not pay chapter dues.... hence are not receiving the CORSA
benefits to which they are entitled when they join a chapter (e.g. these folks
are not attending chapter events that are covered by CORSA insurance, yet are
paying for this coverage). And at the same time there are Chapter
members, who do not join CORSA, and are not taking advantage of CORSA events and
benefits for which they opt not to pay for by not joining CORSA. Huh. Seems
like a wash to me.
People don't join a chapter because they don't want to participate in
chapter events, it's to far away, etc -- so they shouldn't be forced to join
one. Yet, Chapter members who do not want to participate in CORSA events
should be forced to join CORSA?
Now, if you try to argue that CORSA members who do not join a chapter are
not really in any way chipping in for the cost of Chapter benefits anyway,
then you also can't argue that Chapter members who do not participate in
national events are getting benefits of CORSA.

It depends on a number of factors (including sun damage, etc... so a
vehicle
parked in garage may have tire that last linger) but as a rule of thumb, a
tire over 5 years old has lost a lot of its original traction due to
hardening and is more likely to have structural issues.
IMO, a large part of the Firestone/Explorer issues were due to the fact
that
tread life has been extended so long that the tires are structurally
questionable before the tread is gone.
I have several cars with low mileage tires over 5 years old, but I
wouldn't
be comfortable driving them at high speeds for long distances or in a
spirited manner that got near the performance margin... for Sunday
cruising
in dry weather they are likely okay.
