Wink Re: If you own a Corvair, SPEAK UP!

I bought my first (and only still) Corvair when i was 15 on ebay. it is a Rampside pickup, and i get looks everywhere i go. this truck is just as much a workhorse as my uncles F250. I use it to help friends and family move, with the ramp it makes it so much easier than a conventional truck. i believe Chevorlet should re-design the corvair. with the current race for fuel efficient automobiles, it would be a great competitor, my truck get's around 20 mpg, which for a 63 pick up is ridiculous (it doesn't anymore since the recent break downs) but as much as maintenance may frustrate me as an 18 year old college student, i wouldn't trade for anything ever (except a brandnew one ) in my opinion the corvair was an example of trial and error, because even today these old family economy vehicles are still doing just as good as the showroom cars.
