Subject:Fwd: Corvair-powered Bay on Virginia CL

Very strange.

The Corvair was Chevy's  failed  attempt to offer a US alternative the
strange and rapidly  multiplying  VW Beetle.

It was so poorly engineered it flipped and killed lots of people, including
two I knew in high school.
It gave Ralph Nader his start as a consumer activist, the subject of his
book "Unsafe At Any Speed"

As an engine, if I recall correctly, it fried valves frequently or had
another fatal defect.   Strange to have one running, let alone in a VW.

Halloween is over isn't it?
