<VV> [FC] Corvair Research

[BBRT]

Isn't it sad we all understand and accept the comments ....  Don't tell he 
truth if it impacts one's grades.... Since it is an "engineering" class it 
is NOT supposed to be political/politically correct/accepted by non-and 
anti-automotive media and population.. It is SUPPOSED  to be based on 
research and facts, not (biased or opinion) information, but facts.
