And good riddance. Too bad about Saturn though, probably the best

I still miss the corvairs, that later trailing arm ones, not the
Beetle like swing arms on the early ones. I had a red 65 ragtop. I
still miss that car. It was the four carb version that need grade 100
avaition fuel and didn't get it. Melted some pistons in two minutes
merely running it flat out.

I'd probably have some trouble missing that car.
Don't like melted pistons, but that's just me.
