<VV> Click/clack wtf oil level.

[Frank DuVal]

Well, from the perspective of an outsider viewing the car, the 
reputation is much worse with the oil dripping off the engine than 
invisable fumes comming out of the dip stick! Cutting the tube keeps the 
rear cove area clean also for better viewing by the public.

And of course is it better for our reputation to junk cars or keep them 
on the road? Remember in the late 70s and 80s an engine rebuild for a 
Corvair used as a car (not a museum piece by a collector) usually meant 
the owner would buy another used car cheaper and junk the Corvair. I 
kept a lot of Corvairs in daily service here in Virginia instead of 
crusher fodder.
