<VV> sick of my Corvair

[Louis C. Armer, Jr.]

Try to picture your Honda Minivan in 2035, then try to picture anybody 
thinking that it's
cool and the driver is cool....................................Imagine what 
the parts would cost
if anyone still made them to fix up a boring appliance like box with no 
character..........
If you just want dependable boredom then by all means ditch the ballless 
CORSA bunch
and the crappy 40 year old car that is no longer good for your "mental 
healt" !!! <GGG>
