You'd have to be over 60 to remember the Corvair. As soon as I had a good paying job, I plunked down $2100. on a new 1960 Corvair Monza. I was attracted to the unusual engineering and features that no other car could claim. It had a heater that started warming your feet in 1 minute, the first comfortable bucket seats on any American car, and drove like a kiddy car around curves. The dash was simple and no nonsense, but since the Corvair was advertised as an economy car, I didn't mind the Spartan treatment. The first thing I did was rub down the Roman Red paint with white compound to a brilliant cut-glass shine, coat all the chrome (cars still had chrome bumpers) with clear lacquer, and insulate the engine from the interior. The six cylinder engine had plenty of power, but I wanted more and drilled out the economy carburetor jets for 15% more

horsepower.

All the furor about the Corvair handling badly was brought out by Ralph Nader's book, 'nsafe at any speed'. It read like a scandalous disclosure and sold millions of copies. It was his contention that the rear weight bias snuck up on a driver and caused too many accidents. He used any and all statistics to prove his point and I'm sure scared the hell out of prospective buyers and Corvair owners alike. One statistic he omitted from his book was one from a large insurance company who stated that the Corvair proved to be the safest car in the country when you looked at the number of accidents per mile driven. This was attributed to the quick reacting independent suspension which helped avoid many an accident. Further investigation discovered that many of the accidents involving Corvair and other rear engine cars were due to the fact that the tires were being driven on contained only 10 to 15 psi!

In a front engine car, this dereliction of tire safety would result only in premature tire wear and more resistance to turning. But in a rear-engined car, this low tire pressure could result in the swapping of ends, front for back, surprising the driver. Of course he would have to be going around a curve at three times the posted speed or on glare ice for this to happen.

I drove the 1960 Corvair for about 60,000 miles and sold it three years later for $50.00 less that I paid for it. My sister and I made a car trip out to California and back with no trouble at all with the exception of one flat. While not being strictly legal, the back seat folded forward to make a nice bed with the addition of an air mattress. There was room for an ice chest and the front trunk held two medium sized suitcases and many other items. The Corvair was American ingenuity at its best, the car lasting for nine years, bringing driving fun and economy with a flair.

Automotive ingenuety intrigues me.

Price of Oil is Down. It's a Good Time to Invest in Oil Commodities!

The beauty of the market, whether it’s commodities, mutual funds, or just plain ‘ol stocks, is that they never fail to surprise me.  Only a month ago, I wrote an article about oil and why (based on analyst’s opinions) the price has increased so much, going up to $147 per barrel back in July.  Well, just four short weeks later, oil has come down to under $108 per barrel.  How in the world does oil spike up so quickly?  More importantly, how does it plummet so drastically?  Oil prices have decreased over 25% in the last four weeks, which makes me laugh when I think about all of those big shots from Goldman Sachs and such who predicted that oil will hit $200 by the end of summer.  If you want to find some of these articles, simply go to 104Oil.com and you’ll find hundreds of them and others that are related. 

 

Of course, there are a number of reasons (based on analyst’s opinions from articles I found on 104Oil.com) as to why the price of oil has decreased so much.  The economy of “powerful” countries, such as China, is weak and in jeopardy of a recession.  Demand for products has decreased due to these countries having weak economies.  Furthermore, specifically with China, the currency there has increased in value, which obviously makes exports less desirable, hence, causing a decrease in the output of goods.  Yet, the average person would conclude that if a county’s currency appreciates in value, why would it be having economical problems?  For that, stay tuned for another article…we’re talking about oil here. 

           

The demand for gasoline is weak, which makes oil less appealing to investors.  This further drives prices down, considering consumers of gasoline are finding other means of transportation, a phenomenon that is not all that phenomenal.  It was only a matter of time for people to start getting sick of paying over $4.50 at the pump for a gallon of gas.  Another reason why the price of oil has decreased is because of a stronger dollar in the last few weeks.  Our currency is on the rise (yippie!), and this is causing investors to pull out of commodities (such as oil).  Investors usually purchase commodities in order to hedge against inflation, and if the dollar is increasing in value, well, there isn’t as much hedging necessary.  You can find many articles relating to this by either going to 104Oil.com or 104Finance.com.

           

There are many other factors involved, including hurricane Gustav not having the impact investors had anticipated for it to have.  Also, refineries are starting to slowly come back online after being shut down for various reasons.  So then, is it safe to say that the oil bubble has finally burst?  Or is it just leaking for now but getting ready to grow larger again?  Some analysts believe that prices can spike again due to unforeseen geopolitical events (could they be any more vague?) or OPEC deciding to cut back production (basically them saying,”We need to drive demand up, so we should decrease supply and drive prices up because this year I want to make $2 Billion instead of only $1 Billion”). 

           

Whatever the reason is for oil prices decreasing, I really don’t care.  As long as gas prices are decreasing, which they have gone down in the past month from a national average of $4.11 to $3.67 according to AAA, and then I’m a happy camper.  Might I add that just because prices have gone down about $0.45 doesn’t mean I’m satisfied.  It wasn’t too long ago that I could fill up the gas tank of a gas guzzling Camaro for no more than $35.00.  I’d like to see those times again, very soon, so I can drive more like Jeff Gordon rather than Ms. Daisy.

Where in the firewall should I drill to run power wire to amplifier?

I have a 1999 camaro z28 auto, and I need to find out the best way to run a power wire from the battery to the amplifier, I would like to not do any drilling if neccessary, but I will if need be. Also should I go through the drivers side or passengers side.

Thanks.

You should hook it to the ignition switch, so turning off the ignition will kill the power! ~

There is a squeak in a clutch when you let it out. It is due to the original owner before me who always let off the clutch sliding his foot off. A little grease will take care of that.
