Howard--
I was just kidding about having a Corvair-- although I've always kind of
liked them, ever since getting to drive a friend's new turbo around '64 or
'65, as a young soldier.
If I had a Corvair LSR car, I'd have to name it "Unsafe at any Speed", just
as an insult to Nader. In my opinion, he killed an interesting car that was
being abused by people who didn't know how to drive it.

Russ,
I saw a white 65 or 66 coupe in a field today near Bisbee,Az. I used to have
one of those.
