<VV> electric Corvairs

[Tim]

Ok, I have to speak up in defense of the Volt.  I hope everyone realizes that in spite if the media hoopla Volts are not spontaneously combusting.  After a major accident like sliding into a telephone pole and rolling over, the battery pack may have an issue.  I suspect that nobody who crashes their vehicle to that extent is going to subsequently park it in their garage.  All this information is available to anyone who takes the time to google the issue.  Ok, corvair content, I'd love to build an electric corvair some day!
