<VV> Corvair coolant was Reminiscing Re: EM Monza PG Idle Problem (humor?)

[kenpepke at juno.com]

And Frank B has reminded me of the time my 56 Cadillac had a rear
engine mount failure which allowed the already close to the radiator
fan to take out the back row of coolant tubes.  Once I got that car back
home I removed the radiator and put it in the trunk of my 63 Corvair for
the trip to the radiator shop ... parked in their driveway and told the guy
my fan had hit the radiator and I needed to have it re cored.

He took one glance at the Corvair ... 'Get that f***ing thing out of here!'

No sense of humor whatsoever :-)

PS.  Once out of the trunk he did the re core.

    Reminds me of long ago (in the 70s) when my late wife Milly encountered a pesky 
salesman who was trying insistently to sell her some cooling system antifreeze.  She told 
him she didn't think she needed any, but he still insisted.  She came back with 
"I'll buy it if you show me where it goes in my car that's parked right out 
front."  Now my wife well knew that her Corvair was air-cooled, but wanted to teach 
this guy a lesson.  Sure of an easy sale, he followed her out of the store, took one look 
at the Corvair, uttered an expletive and beat a hasty retreat back inside the store.
     Thanks for bringing back the memory!
