<VV> Light in front> front spoilers>Corvair-related

[Ron]

That's a VERY common problem at tire dealers.  I don't know if the kids 
working there are told to do that or are just plain stupid but I have often 
been very irritated at that attitude and quit one local dealer when they 
argued about my requested Corvair tire pressures.
