Smitty says:  Don't take those rumors lightly.  Corvairs do kill people. 
 I had to go down and identify my Shop Petty Officer's body at 02:00 one
morning in Whidbey Island.  He was drunk on his a-- and driving a Vair at
an estimated 100mph.  Missed a 90 degree turn and went out into a field
of freshly cut tree stumps about a foot high.  None of them stopped him
but a whole bunch of them tried over a few hunderd feet.  Darn cheap
a--ed car came all to pieces and didn't protect him at all.  So they are
dangerous.
