If nothing else, I've learned a couple of things... one being that 
this household contains packrats.   Another, that even on-topic 
subjects are gonna cause some people to take issue.    In the 
meantime, I continue to stash the posts so I can maybe do my own 
recount just to see how many 'Vairs got "reported".


At one time, a few years ago, a count was done with the local chapter 
here and we totaled up about 60 Corvairs between the group.   (this 
was before my household had begun collecting en mass)     The chapter 
doesn't have that many now...  many members have retired of late or 
passed, and others have lost interest and sold off their 
'Vairs.     The Corvairs are still around; they just belong to other 
people these days.    Currently, I don't think the chapter has more 
than maybe a dozen or so Corvairs (outside the clutter we've acquired 
here) at this time.

The old cliche "You can't save them all" isn't a priority item in 
this camp.   I've discovered that Corvairs, like kittens, tend to 
accumulate.   And, maybe not "all" of 'em are here, but there's 
certainly enough of them that got saved which *are* here.   ;)     I 
sure don't need any more projects at this time...
