[Gunner]

DV: *shrug*. I don't drive one. I don't care except in the general way that I don't want any of my brothers in snakehood driving a potentially dangerous design. The discussion above, starting with a description of a bad fit of CR-supplied parts, raises a lot of questions that should be resolved with something other than arm-waving and generalities about how three days of engineering time couldn't have had any mistakes in it.

I've been in several engineering fields and seen designs with multiple generations and years of service that had serious flaws going back to sketch one, not caught until someone asked the right question.

If you're familiar with the history of the Corvair, you'll recall GM's response to those who suggested there might be a flaw in the rear suspension design.

Maybe - just maybe, just a suggestion, I'm moving on now and you can ignore me if you like - maybe you should stop treating this as some kind of personal slam and take a fresh look at the machinery. Maybe you missed something. The evidence in this thread is, to me, at the very least worth a review. These are, after all, CR owners talking.

Gunner out.
