<VV> Van Lifting its Wheel

[RoboMan91324 at aol.com]

Tim,
 
Just a suggestion if it isn't too late.  Unless you want  to give the guy 
ammunition to justify his prejudice against Corvairs, don't send  the link of the 
FC lifting its wheel.  He will interpret it as proof he is  correct.  A 
vehicle that is on the brink of rolling over is not the best  way to demonstrate 
its safety even if it is being over-driven.  Remember  the film clip of the Jeep 
lifting its wheel that Chrysler used to try to show it  was safe.  The public 
ignored the severity of the turn and only saw a  vehicle on the brink of 
disaster.

Thanks for all the  information. I posted a link to the VVair archive of this 
thread for the EV  list folks to check out. I'm not interested in starting a 
flame war or  anything. I would really like to find that YouTube video of the 
van lifting  it's wheel while autocrossing. I've seen it before, but couldn't 
locate it  last night.
My only concern about safety while driving  my Rampside is the fact that 
there isn't a whole lot between me and what I  might hit. I drive a little slower 
and hope for the best and enjoy my ride.  It's my daily driver and it's 
constantly getting me thumbs up on the road and  people stop me in parking lots 
regularly to tell me they didn't know Corvair  made a truck and that their (insert 
relative here) had one and what fond  memories they have it.
