Can't beat those two for parts. Th...

Re: We TRIED to Help CORSA Fix the Serious Issues with The Corvair Center Forum – Read Our Letter and Their Response HER
I reluctantly renewed my CORSA membership this week so I could keep getting the informative Communique magazine and support our local club/chapter with membership. Now for visiting CCF....that for me has dropped way off.
