Franklin Mint offering a Morgan Dollar for $29.95...
"Bruce Remick" wrote in message ... You're surprised at rear end motion on beach sand? I might have expected to see some fishtailing, but I didn't see any in that clip either. Most likely the Chevy brass selected the best take anyway. A scary ride? Try a 425hp 1963 Impala at speed along that same sand route. Indeed. The problem (which was grossly overstated by Nadar) was in cornering, not going in a straight line. All this was corrected by 1965, as I noted before. The modified Corvair was a good car but Chevy couldn't overcome the bad press generated by Nadar's misguided crusade. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chevrolet_Corvair |

The Corvair was indeed way ahead of its time. Seems some group is
always after GM for something. In recent years they were blammed for forcing people to buy gas guzzling trucks and SUVs...shame on them lol People buy what they want..most people dont want a 2 seat car that they have to plug in..and most people don't work in downtown DC at a rights group office and live one block away. |

Boy, have I been in the dark lately! First, I find out that a female is depicted on a boy scout commemorative coin, and now I learn that GM has secretly been forcing Americans to buy their products! But this business of "rights groups" right in the downtown area of *my* country is going too far! What is this world coming to? This is just plain un-American! I'm going to call into the Limbaugh "open mike Friday" show and report this. James |

I haven't noticed GM being singled out for their gas guzzler trucks and SUV's. Last I heard, everyone from Toyota to the big howevermany US automakers were making V8 trucks and SUV's. I have no idea what most people want or don't want, except maybe for bland muted earth colors in their vehicles. As one who grew up with chromy 2-tone paint monsters in the 1950's, I find today's car color choices to be very.....peaceful. To really save fuel, parhaps we should concentrate more on putting hybrid engines in those big gas guzzlers instead of in the little cars that likely could get 30mpg anyway. Around here, most people DO work in downtown DC, but it's difficult to find much housing one block away. From what I see, lots of the "rights groups" seem to be set up in the suburbs in strip malls. |

Serves 'em right. Nobody fighting for rights should get first-class accommodations. If Valley Forge was good enough for Washington and his army, it should be good enough for a bunch of bleeding heart libruls today. James the Reactionary |
