<VV> paucity of mechanics

[J R Read_HML]

Frankly,

I think that it has as much to do with (if not more) the fact that the 
majority of remaining Corvairs are in pretty darn nice shape - having been 
through one or more restorations by now.  That, and the fact they (most) are 
no longer "daily drivers"  Ergo, the need to have work completed by a 
professional is considerably less than in previous years.

Those who have paid others to do the work for them in the past certainly 
already know (at least have a pretty good idea) what sort of costs are 
potentially involved.  With the cost of premium gas at $4.41 (today when I 
filled up), it is likely that our cars will be seeing even less annual 
miles.

I believe that to lay the blame entirely on the frugality of Corvair owners 
is in error.  Certainly, it can be a factor, but just as certainly - not the 
only one.

Later, JR
