<VV> VV Ouch! Do we really sound like this?

[Cliff Tibbitts]

Interesting John, 

However, I haven't found this to be the case.  I think Murilee Martin is
just a foul-mouthed, egocentric individual that probably thinks more of
him/herself than the rest of us.  

I have found the Corvair people to be pretty ordinary folks who happen to
like a quirky little car.  The only ranting and raving I saw in your quote
was Martin's ludicrous attacks on the Corvair, which he obviously knows
nothing about.  

Now, back to work, the car must be ready by July and I'm falling behind
Kevin Willson in Juneau, but then again, I don't have 18 hours of daylight
either. 

Regards,

Cliff Tibbitts

I found this under a blog about the F Nader plate....from 
 The David Lawrence Show
http://thedavidlawrenceshow.com/ralph_nader_001763.html
Back when I had a job taking photos at car shows, I was forced to interact
with hundreds of scary-geeky-obsesso single-interest car freaks- you know,
the ones with a laser-intense focus on and no-fucking-life-whatsoever
encylopedic knowledge of a single make/model/era vehicle. And as bad as the
date-code-centric B-body Mopar or early-Corvette guys were (and that's 
saying something), nobody even came close to the Corvair freaks for sheer
terrifying fluent-in-Klingon insanity. Your face is covered with frothy spit
after listening to 30 seconds of their tirades.

It's the conspiracy-theory thing that gives them their extra voltage- they
think the Corvair was the greatest car design ever, built to
Swiss-watch-quality standards et fuckin' cetera, and the meddling do-gooders
and ball-cutting bureaucrats (insert right-wing/libertarian rant here)
killed it! And the sheeplike population fell in line when that bastid Nader
barked out his orders! But they won't get his Corvair until they pry the
keys out of his cold, dead hands... which would be about 5 minutes after one
of the rear wheels tucks under on a gentle 25MPH turn, the car flips, and
the steering column spears his heart like a toothpick through an olive.
