In 1969 I was attending ENMU at Portales, NM on the GI bill. I had read "Unsafe at Any Speed". Ralph Nader came to the campus to give a talk both about his book and the new "airbag safety devices" that he had encouraged manufacturers to work on. When he took questions, I ask him if it was true that he didn't have a drivers license; which he evaded answering. I then ask him if it was true that these airbag devices were blowing the eardrums out of test subjects. He got pretty mad. I thought he was an arrogant pr**ck and still do. I don't think he left with a very good opinion of me either. I always admired the design and performance of the late model corvairs, but never owned or drove one.
I did drive the M151 Army jeep that had a long travel swing arm rear suspension without getting one upside down although many weren't so lucky. I slid the M151 around corners on dirt, sand, asphalt, and concrete without an incident or accident.????

Today's Featured Article - 12-Volt Conversions for 4-Cylinder Ford 2000 & 4000 Tractors - by Tommy Duvall. After two summers of having to park my old 1964 model 4000 gas 4 cyl. on a hill just in case the 6 volt system, for whatever reason, would not crank her, I decided to try the 12 volt conversion. After some research of convert or not, I decided to go ahead, the main reason being that this tractor was a working tractor, not a show tractor (yet). I did keep everything I replaced for the day I do want to restore her to showroom condition.
