Corvair Forum

Not a 'Vair moment but crazy. I had a lifted rock crawler S-10 with solid axles. I was parked on a typical suburbia sloped driveway. Didn't have a parking brake. I had to pull the driveshaft. Forgot the wheel chocks. I was underneath. Luckily there were no cars driving by or parked cars.
