<VV> Corvair brakes and off-roading adventures

[Charles Lee]

Hi Ray and ex,

 

I thought that picture was just too great NOT to use on my brakes section,
as a warning!

 

It was just so subtle that it could not be ignored, and needed to be
preserved!   I hope you don't mind me stealing it and infringing your
copyright on it!

Plus, I hope your ex doesn't mind me memorializing her little off-roading
adventure!

HAHAHA!!! The picture on that site that is captioned "This what happens when
Corvair Brakes are not Functioning Properly !" was taken by me.  My ex was
driving the car and a deer jumped out in front of her.  Roads were wet and
in a panic she held the pedal down rather than pump it.  

The really surprising thing was that the car came out with NO body damage
(just scratched paint) and just one bent front end part.  She was following
me when it happened.  I noticed a minute later that she was gone and then my
cell phone rang.  She told me that a deer jumped out and she swerved off the
road... I asked "where are you" and her answer was "I don't know I can't see
anything but green leaves and branches!".

Hi Matt,

Mine may be PG, but the body doesn't need any major repairs, just the usual
window edge rust, so it might be a trade-off in that regard, and being a
4-speed may get my interest.

The link to mine is one you've seen, and a bit outdated, but I hope to get a
little more work done, so there's something NEW to post!

Making it part of my sig might light the fire though, so I should do that!

I see so many nice cars on here, it's a little intimidating, but I need to
change that!

Thanks for the pep talk!
