>>>I owned a Corvair back then, and I loved it! Go back and check the facts, few people do. Nader was WRONG, WRONG, WRONG! It just took five years for the facts to catch up with him, and by then the Corvair was dead and nobody cared about Nader's distortions. So I don't blame MSFT for NOT ATTENDING!<<< I owned a modified 64 Corvair. Because of the crappy suspension, which caused the roll-overs, for real, mine had the suspension and much else replaced with '65 parts, which fixed all the problems Nader complained about. A torsion bar was added at that point, which helped, along with other needed changes. They fixed them because he put such heat on. I for one was pleased he did. After the mods it handled like a sports car. Unless you had a '64, you did not have the kind of car Nader was talking about. The originals were pigs, but I though the body was pretty cool, and the engine. A lot of people got the mods I had. Unfortunately, in '65 chevy changed the body style to a kind of crappy-looking capri-like thing, totally unlike the original, and this body style never excited people much. It was more cheaply made too (rusted out), whereas the original body was by Fisher. And I think that is why they never recovered from their mistakes. Lame-os always blame their critics, though, don't they. Chaz
