<VV> "Crash Course" book

[Vairtec Corporation]

Bruce and all--

Paul Ingrassia is at present working on another book, this one 
spotlighting several significant vehicles in the history of the 
automobile, to include a certain rear-engine Chevrolet.  He kindly 
interviewed me (and bought lunch!) as part of his research into the 
Corvair.  Fortunately for his forthcoming book, I am far from the only 
person he interviewed!

But yes, "Crash Course" is a good read!
