<VV> why i joined corsa

[AeroNed at aol.com]

First let me say, I agree with Mark on this point, but I'm gonna play the  
devil's advocate because I just like arguing with Mark...
 
Without joining CORSA I can still join VV and any of the other great  
Corvair forums on the Internet. I can them make the same great contacts. I can  
also Google to find many of the Corvair part and service vendors. I can also  
find the local club, either through VV and the forums or a chapter web 
site. I  can also attend virtually any local, regional or national event with 
out joining  CORSA. The only restriction would be participating in CORSA 
convention  events.
 
If you really believe this can't and doesn't happen then you are the one  
dreaming.

I think  that anyone who has a collector car is a fool if they DON'T belong
to that  marque's national club. Everyone can tout all the advantages they
want (and  there are MANY advantages in being a member of CORSA), but I
think the most  important one I've found are the contacts. I know I wouldn't
have half the  Corvair "stuff" that I do, nor have had anywhere near the
fun, enjoyment,  and network of Corvair friends without having been a member
of the national  club. I am also a "fan" of another automotive marque, which
is an '80's  car, that doesn't have a national marque club (long story on
that one), and  the differences between the two are leagues apart. Those
guys "think" they  can do it all over the internet. Yea, right. Dream on...

It's the  unseen, difficult to describe, impossible to appraise advantages
like  "contacts" that one gets by being a member of a marque's national
club.  Problem is, people who are't "joiners" are simply oblivious to that,
and  sadly always will be, no matter how hard you try to educate them  about
it.
