Not all Corvair people are cheap. I highly doubt you can call Jay Leno cheap. For a lot of folks, times are certainly very rough with no end in sight. And I have to point out to people that Jay Leno even has Corvairs. So I highly doubt he has done Corvairs a disservice. I think just the opposite in fact. Lending his name to Corvairs for us is a bonus in fact.

>> Don't get me wrong, I LOVE this guy! And he loves 'Vairs!

>> It's just that he says two things during his WUNNERFUL

>> two for the rest of us......
>>
>> First off, he says "I see Corvairs on E-Bay all the time for
>> $2,000 -- $3,000" The viewer is left to assume that you may
>> purchase a driver-quality Corvair in that price range, needing
>> no work to function daily.
>>
>> Second of all, he states that you may obtain "a really nice
>> Corvair for UNDER $10,000". This leads the viewer to assume
>> that if he pays MORE than $10,000 then he is over-paying.
>>
>> The upshot of all this is that potential Corvair owners are led to

>> than $10,000.
>>
>> Since his Garage segment, I have noticed a fairly large decrease

>> Corvair on the market worth more than about Five or Six Grand or
>> so. I check-out E-Bay at least twice a day, and I see what appear
>> to be some better-than-decent cars NOT selling and receiving what
>> I consider to be INSULTING bids!
>>
>> I just think that the potential Corvairistas have been lead to believe
>> that 'Vairs ain't worth Dog Poop!
>>
>> What do YOU think?
>>
>> I like Jay a lot, but I think he may have screwed-up here.................
>>
>> Or am I full of it?
>>
>> Oh, and no DOG in my household at present, and I don't own a 
>> "Scooper".....
>>
>> And PLEEZE don't kill the Messenger, okay?
