<VV> Young Owner

Eric,
Sounds like you're well grounded in the Corvair world... thanks for  sticking 
with it... I know a lot of people who get into something and then the  first 
thing that goes bad they condemn the car... I bought my first Corvair in  1990 
when I was 23... I had been married for one year, and had a baby girl just  a 
few weeks old... my 73 VW Beetle had been hit on the side of the road, and  
when I started looking for a replacement car I couldn't find a VW for under  
$1500... but I found a 66 Monza for $600... brought my second daughter home from 
 the hospital in that car just 2 years later... I didn't join CORSA until 
about  94 or 95, but I DID join the local club once I found out about them... I 
did  learn a lot from those guys, but then work schedules and such kept me from 
the  meetings... In the last 16 years I've not once been without a Corvair, 
and times  have been both good and bad, fat and lean...
This Saturday Cheryl and I celebrate our 17 wedding anniversary... she's  put 
up nicely with my Corvair antics, and has even had some of her poetry and  
writings published in the Communique back in the mid and late 1990s. My daughter 
 Sarah (the before mentioned "baby girl") will be old enough to drive by this 
 time next week, but she really hasn't shown much interest in it just yet... 
we  shall see...
I have several of the kids at Church interested in the Corvair, but I think  
it's more of an "oddity" or "cool old car" instead of something fun to 
drive...  but I'm working on it... I just wish some of the local cars for sale 
weren't  priced so high for what they'd be getting... $3500 for a $1500 car just 
doesn't  seem right to me...
Oh well, all I can do is teach and preach... the faithful will  follow.
;-)
Later,
Lonzo
