<VV> Need Help in Ft Myers

[Secular]

  Grant:

  I think you are a perfect example that VV is not totally 
  afflicted with the cancer of worthless remarks. I have learned 
  from you and many other kind & knowledgeable folks here - folks 
  who are willing to share and do not equate helping with deriding. 

  The notion that you must be born as an air-cooled car engineer from
  infancy, has no place here and hopefully the "cut & paste" folks 
  whose primary skill is to type "take it to VV talk" would put their gavel
  to better use. 

  A person might be an expert in any field of knowledge or a master 
  of many material skills and accomplishments. But without that
   inner desire to help others, his/her brain is a desert waste :)

  Regards,


  Tony Irani

> So, folks, what am I missing? I was trying to find someone who could give a new owner some help with her new Corvair and I got mostly sarcastic or degrading remarks that have nothing to do with finding help for her. What is wrong with you people?! This might in part explain why our membership is declining? It's a good thing she is not yet a member because after reading some of the comments we could pretty much be sure she wouldn't join CORSA. And Bob, thank you for the contact. I apologize if I am reading too much into this, but here's what I just read (you decide if it's helpful):
> 1. Why would a person buy a Corvair unless they knew someone nearby who could service and repair it????? 
> 2. What, the red light caused by the non-functioning belt is not enough to tell you to shut down the engine?  If that is the case, then is that analog needle going to have a greater impact on the brain?  
> 3. Good point, but under some lighting conditions, the red light may not be that obvious, or, it may not be working at all!  
> 4. Maybe someone can get her to join Corsa before she realizes she's too mechanically challenged to be accepted.
> 5. I'll send you the contact information.
