<VV> Early Rear Bearings

Okay, so next question -- who on this list is in their right mind in the 
first place?  If someone else is paying for the fuel & lodging, I'd be 
happy to drive either of my two Corvairs to Florida and back via "the 
scenic route".  [I'm looking for a rear brake drum for the 356 Porsche 
before it would be eligible for such a trip -- anyone have a spare for a 
Type A?]

Of course, I've always had pretty good luck with my vehicles and getting 
where I was going -- the Trooper incident a couple years ago was an 
aberration -- not all have that type of "luck". So, I suppose, it 
depends a bit on one's personal karma with their machinery.  It would 
seem Smitty is quite justified to carry a spare axle, and any Corvair 
owner should carry a spare tire and fan belt, although spare tires are 
even falling out of vogue.these days.
