Snappy Answers to Frequent Corvair Comments

Ralph Nader said they were unsafe: Yeah, Nader was right. I didn't even drive it here, just pushed it by hand and I feel very lucky to have gotten here alive.

Corvair motors fall out: Yeah, as a matter of fact it fell out on the way over here. Fortunately I keep some coat hangers in the trunk to wire it back up when that happens.

Corvairs oil leaks can’t be stopped: I've developed a way to catch almost all of the leaking oil and direct it back to the engine. Sometimes I collect so much I have to stop by an Auto Zone and dump the extra in the re-claimer.

Corvairs catch on fire: Yes, it caught on fire twice on the way over. I've contracted with the Fire Department to follow me with a fully manned pumper truck whenever I drive it anywhere. Maybe you noticed the fire truck parked outside just in case it decides to self-combust right here.

Corvairs throw belts: I was able to solve that problem by converting it to use suspenders.

Corvairs roll over: That's true, I have to use steel cables to tie it down in the garage when I can't keep an eye on it.

Alternatively if you own a convertible: "Yep, I got sick of pounding out dents and buffing the scratches of of the roof so I just cut it off!"

The rear ends slide out on curves: Yep, I tried driving it backwards but then I found that the front end would slide out on curves too.

Nader made them illegal: Please don't tell the cops I still have one.

Corvairs were one of the worst cars every made: Sure enough, this one is the last one that's left and I'm not quite sure how much longer it's gonna last.
