Sell the Cessna, fix the Corvair and come racing with us. :)

It's only 3000 miles away.

    I love the car, but it ain't moving in that video. Mine already does that! :)

    Now below is a real man's Corvair, and it's local to me. In fact, they show it roaring up & down the same hills & switchbacks in Palos Verdes where I have logged thousands of miles on my bicycle. And yes, I do need to sell the Cessna and fix my Corvair!

    HERO WORSHIP!

    I met the owner of that beautiful V8 Corvair this afternoon, Chuck Rust. Totally random. I had been asking my hot rod pals about Chuck, who assured me that he & his car could be found at one of the many SoCal car shows this summer. But today I took the twins to my friend's rabbit rescue shelter, and in walks Chuck, who has a silk screening business across the alley. He liked my Hot Wheels shirt, and I recognized him right away. We yacked for half an hour while the girls got to pet, feed, and brush a hundred rabbits. His V8 car wasn't there, but he had 2 other Corvairs onsite. We know a lot of the same people, and he's the president of the local Corvair club which meets 2 miles from my house. It really is a very small world! This may be just the kick in the pants I need to get my butt in gear. Of course I'll have to divide my time between the Parallax and Corvair discussion forums. Wonder how quickly I can get to 10K useless posts over there...

    @Publison: Nobody's supposed to be looking at this thread except you and me, so it's safe to admit that I'm considering offering my Corvair in trade for this useless new Ferarri: https://autos.yahoo.com/blogs/motoramic/see-if-you-can-spot-the--89-000-in-damage-on-this-new-ferrari-california-142614779.html

    You MAY have to throw the Cessna in also, but only if they throw in the car cover.

    I think we found a way to generate hits. "For xxxx eyes only".

    For Parallax BS2 eyes only? For Parallax Propeller eyes only?

    Never seen a thread hit 8000 hits in such a short period of time.

    (Maybe erco is going for 20,000) :)

    10,000+ now.

    Whatever you do, please don't throw me in that ol' Greenbrier patch, Br'er Publison...

    I say, I say that's a joke son. A Greenbrier is an early Corvair van... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chevrolet_Greenbrier

    Could be a good Scooby-Doo vehicle.

    Seriously, I may have to delete this thread, I do not know how it affects Parallax's bandwidth.

    Or maybe it's good publicity?

    I am asking the powers to be.
