Bought a new 61 corvair and never had any problem other than the pushrod cover seals. When it was about a month old I was getting a puddle of oil in the rear engine mount. Took it back to the dealer and their (expert) said that was the way they all were. Asked him if he thought GM designed cars with built in oil leaks and told him to call me the next time the GM rep was in. Rep looked at the puddle in the engine mount and told the dealer to fix the leak. Found out that a nut, probably the drain plug, was missing a gasket.
Another problem was that most drivers didn't realize that it had quick steering and could easily cause over steering.
Came to a T intersection and had it in a four wheel drift. Nothing drastic happened. Another time I turned right at and intersection and a lady coming from the opposite direction turned left behind me. She started blowing her horn and waving at me. Stopped and she informed that my rear wheels nearly fell off. Informed her that because of the dip in the road and the independent rear suspension the wheels did look like they were falling off because the arch the wheel took when it moved up.< p>Sold the Corvair with 80k miles on the odometer.
Bought a 65 chevelle with a 327 engine. All that power nearly got away from me for a while.

Today's Featured Article - Grain Threshing in the Early 40's - by Pat Browning. The setting is rural Wisconsin, halfway between East Troy and Elkhorn, on Hodunk Road, our nation was at war, and I was 6, 7 and 8 years old. George was our "threshing neighbor." He was the one with the threshing machine, a JI Case on steel wheels, and he pulled it to our farm with a JI Case standard tractor also on steel. In those days, steel wheeled implements were common. The roads were general gravel, so the lugs cutting into them wasn't a problem. George would set up the thresher, s
