Can non-Tempest owners play?

You can't find Tempest parts so you start looking through Corvair parts catalogs.

Done that, found what I was looking for at a much better price than Kanter.

when you carry wheel chocks in your trunk for when you park on an incline, and just don't trust the parking brake and "PARK" option delete on '61-'62. (maybe it's just a San Francisco thing)

and even your own parents warn you about taking corners too fast in these cars because of someone they knew had one/had accident/story of incident/etc. ( yeah , think we're a tad younger gen then the rest of you.) No offense, just clariification of last comment.
