Stay with this for about 1/2 vid then the revelation will be apparent. Then you'll say duh, it was in front of us all the time. :Wow1:

That's pretty funny, alright. Some of that off-road stuff was pretty surprising.

Didn't your friend and mine[<sarcasm], Ralph Nader vote that was the most dangerous car ever made?

Cool video!

The flyfisherman in me cringed when I heard that it was in that stream for 20 miles!

My mom had a corvair that looked a lot like that. Later on, she got a newer one, and that is the one I remember the most. We took that thing all over the place...

It's pretty funny to see that old video, but I have always had a soft spot for corvairs.

Cool cars.

Had a 62 Rampside truck that was fairly good off road except that it was geared too high for the tires I had on it. But was a good dirt bike hauler.

No such thing as tread lightly in those days I guess.


Ralph Nader wrote a book called "Unsafe at any speed" all about the Corvair and how the big three built unsafe cars.
