Actually, I think it is Mark's *attempt* at intellectual bullying -- 
directed at anyone who disagrees with his point of view -- the problem 
being that you only "get it" if you happen to be Mark, as he is perhaps 
the only one who meets his criteria for posting in an "intelligent and 
educated manner".

So, I offer my apologies to the list for when I choose not to meet 
Mark's criteria, thusly doing my part to send him off on another rant 
about sedans and thingys, and appearing myself to be stupid from Mark's 
pov, but I know not to fall off the turnip truck (although I have been 
knocked off the hay wagon once or twice while stacking it, but there 
isn't much Corvairish about those stories) -- much simpler to wait for 
it to stop and just get off -- also, makes me wonder how them boys that 
are so stupid that they do fall off the truck ever get on the truck in 
the first place -- never heard any tales about folks falling onto the 
turnip truck ...

Speaking of produce, Corsa Oregon went off on a Wine Country Tour 
yesterday, and afaik, all returned safely to the fold, earlies, lates, & 
the FC thingy -- none of us were refused at the tasting rooms because 
someone was worried about whether my early four door or the late 4 door 
was a sedan or not -- that poor guy with the beautifully restored 
Greenbrier was the one who had trouble being recognized as a Corvair 
owner (maybe because it had a couple extra doors?) -- and no one melted 
an HRPT, either.

Sort of a warm up for some of us for our club mileage event before the 
North West Econo-Run. Speaking of which,. the club is having trouble 
with getting something to show besides the html code on our CORSA 
webpages, so Lon is trying to get some info up on his 
www.corvairunderground.com site, but so far, that is not up either, or 
links to the dysfunctional CORSA site (not blaming CORSA here, okay -- 
the club is having trouble with it's html editor). Anyway, if anyone 
wants a emailing of the NW Econo-Run info in pdf, I can forward it to 
you privately.
