not only the worst, but the most dangerous car ever made, the Chevy Corvair

The Corvair was a fine little car and no more dangerous than a VW Bug.

The Corvair was a very well designed and well built car. The problem was that it needed to have different tire pressure front and rear or it handled like it was on bowling balls (no radials in those days) Unfortunately, a shyster lawyer named Ralph Nader decided he could make a name for himself and trashed the car in the automotive version of Earth in the Balance.

Well, it was bad if you get hit from the rear, which we did-—thankfully, the car didn’t catch on fire, and we were able to get out—
