1. Great!!
I'll take two!! I remember going on house calls with the family doctor through twisty mountain roads in his Corvair Monza. For a car so unsafe I can't understand how it managed to run 90mph plus on those roads. Better than any roller coaster I've ever been on!

2. Right, the car that Nader sank although didn't Ralph Nader....
...also push a Studebaker from a six story building roof to demonstrate that cars were not safe at any speed? The Corvair is the perfect statement for Bush's corporation friendly administration policies, build anything that can sell and lift all regulations and let the public decide what is safe and reliable.

Caveat Emptor! Latin for 'let the buyer beware', but it does sound a lot like 'go stick this up your dead ass' which is the way George W Bush probably interprets that concept..

4. I love Corvairs!
The fact that he single handedly killed the Corsair is my original reason for disliking Nader.

Of course, after 2000, the corvair is hardly even an afterthought.

6. It Was My Parent's First New Car
Handled well, took two adults and another two noisy kids, good gas mileage for the time and only down for routine maintainence in the 200,000+ miles it racked up without rust.

If Nader could have only waited a few years, he could have gone after the SUV's to build his reputation without having to suck up to the Repukes now.
