[NoVa-Corvairs] Part needed, news, 67 vert for sale

[Daniel Goldberg]

Greg: good use of the word "schleping"

Actually, I grabbed my jack earlier this evening ... and not a moment too soon:

1) My Bavaria is currently inop and waiting for a part; and

2) My trusty Bronco II completely died tonight on the way home from the gym.

Technically, the Corvair, with its dry-as-a-bone diff, is also inop, but I can rectify that in the morning.

Three cars ... none of which I can just hop into and drive.  It's like I'm 22 all over again.
