<VV> Corvairs in the Winter

[peter koehler]

This evening I had a very pleasant dinner with my 83 year 
old neighbor as a thank you for keeping his driveway 
shoveled out. Seems like everyday of late we have an extra 
couple of inches of snow to clear out.

John's hobby is building ice racing boats. He is still 
hard at it in his basement working away. Since I moved 
next door three years ago he has seen many Corvairs come 
and go. He prefers the early model 4 door sedans as that 
is what he had "back in the day".

It was great to hear him reminisce about hauling his ice 
boat on the roof of his bought-it-new 1962 Corvair sedan 
to the frozen lakes around Pittsburgh. He said the car was 
great in the snow. He could drive up the side of a 
building... Only had to use the chains once...

Has anybody here on the list experienced the joys of 
winter driving in a Corvair lately??? - Caveman Pete
