<VV> Survey: How Many Made It Home?

[N. Joseph Potts]

The subject here has to do with J R's and others' stories on VV: getting
your new Corvair home (doesn't count if in fact your Corvair IS new, which
no one's has been for over 30 years).
     Since 1965, I've bought one Corvair and, in a story I have aired on VV,
I didn't make it home (across town - Miami) with it. Rust from the gas tank
clogged the carburetors.
     Everybody think about the last Corvair they tried to drive home from
the place where they acquired it (as JR did, and I tried to). Did the car
make it back under its own power? Three possible answers: Y: yes - made it
with no more attention than gas, oil, and air. N: switched to tow truck,
flatbed, or other external source of power. S: sort of: the vehicle either
broke down or appeared as though it would break down, requiring mechanical
attention of one sort or another on the trip home. JR's account would appear
to fall in the S category. Flat tires and dead batteries make an S, unless
dealt with at the beginning of the trip in the course of resuscitating the
car where bought.
     My report is N.
     By all means, vote multiple times if you remember more than one
Corvair, as long as it's your own you're reporting.
