Frankly:


The Corvair center has a useful purpose and on occasion I'm there.


But--

It's NOT a valid replacement for VV, never has been and isn't likely 
to be.   Dave's comments about VV being so "old-school" are falling 
on a lot of deaf ears... Corvairs themselves ARE "old school".



Mark makes a good point here.




Bling never did a damned thing for me, nor does it do anything IMHO 
for a car, Corvairs included.   The gee-whiz gang can dress up their 
gingerbread all they like but for honest discourse and real world 
info sharing it's pretty hard to beat this forum... which is by the 
way  NOT out to make money, nor should the CORSA website be other 
than to promote the marque and encourage people to join CORSA or 
perhaps offer a venue for them to purchase CORSA merchandise.

...the last thing I wanna see is a "dazzle" Corvair wearing 
"meddle-flake" purple paint with pink racing stripes and neon under 
the rockers and 22" rims fitted with those idiotic spinning wheel 
covers piloted by a "high tech" gen-x'er wearing sunglasses at night 
with his baseball cap on backwards.   ;)


The Corvair center serves a useful purpose and I've gleaned stuff 
from there.   But for someone to suggest it's the wave and VV is the 
past is just a tad bit presumptuous, I think.
