No really dying, it's just technological cars are overshadowing non-tech cars. Like asking a kid these days to play a board game.

> Yes, Bill, Corvair owners aren't going away, they are just going away from CORSA. The people in charge of CORSA need to stop clinging to the "we have always done it this way" mentality. One big reason that CORSA's membership is dropping is because the people that have always done it that way are going away, either getting out of old cars or passing away. It is time to start to do things differently, in ways that will attract those younger Corvair owners.

In fact this past weekend we welcomed a couple new young members. I always go out of my way to welcome new members and not make them feel like this is just a clique of old members. Our club does not require CORSA membership to join. Our local club continues to grow.
