The Corvair sure was fun to drive!!!

Living in this jobless recovery and watching people go off to fight a war that we had no business starting, I began to look forward to the elction year. I like Kerry and I thought he had a good chance, the Nader happened. I really liked to drive the Corvair, especially on a curvy, dirt road. Here’s a link:

Bwa? The link doesn’t work. Also, given that the election is almost 8 months away I don’t think we can say for sure that Nader will make a big difference. Ultimately I don’t think he will.

You should check this out.

I’ve driven four-on-the-floor and three-on-the-tree, but never a push-buttion shift on the dash. I think this would be a poular feature today, since you could do it while holding a cell phone or even a coffee cup.

And if Nader wanted to promote issues ignored by the other candidates, why the hell didn’t he run as a Dem, build a consitiuency in the primaries, then “sell” his support to the winner in return for those issues being written in as a platform plank?

I think we know the answer to that question.

Also, from what I’m led to understand, the Corvair was no better or worse than other cars of the era when it came to safety.
