[T3] Unsafe At Any Speed

[James MacNaughton <jmac@uglyduckling.com>]

	My comments below...

	Somehow I manage to be a fan of both the Corvair (I learned to drive

	in a 1960 Corvair 700) and of Ralph Nader. I think that it is 
	important toLWand that while his stated target was the Corvair

	swing axle, Ralph's real target was the blatant disreguard which GM 
	displayed at the health and safety of the US public. The unfortunate

	part was that it was not just GM.


	Well said!  Ralph Nader has always been something of a dichotomy for
me.  On one hand, he was the catalyst for tremendous reform in the auto
industry.  He brought about really sincere changes in the engineering of the
industry.

	On the other hand, he directly had a hand in killing the 'Vair (one
of my best buddies in HS had a 66 Corsa, Turbo 4-spd - though the turbo was
tough to keep working).  And indirectly killed the air-cooled VW's.  He also
did away with tailfins, or at least made them a millstone.  Some of you
might not like 'em, but they make me all woogly inside.

	Oh well.
