What's the opposite of a Corvair museum?

http://www.rep-am.com/articles/2013/07/22/news/local/738946.txt

WINSTED -- Ralph Nader has finally found a new home for his long-planned tort museum.

He announced last week that the American Museum of Tort Law will open at the former Winsted Savings Bank building at 654 Main St. in about two years. He had wanted to open it at the former factory of Dano Electric and Strong Manufacturing Co. at 95-97 Main St. as early as 2007, but the project was derailed by complications related to the clean up of contaminated soil in the parking area at the rear of the late 19th-century massive brick building at the corner of Main and Rowley streets.

The Dano/Strong building is owned by The Law Works Inc., which is the nonprofit that just bought the old Winsted Savings Bank last week for $535,000. The Dano/Strong building is home to the offices of the Shafeek Nader Trust for the Community Interest and its community lawyer, Charlene LaVoie. LaVoie is also listed as president of The Law Works, according to the secretary of state's office.

Lets all hope nobody slips and hurts themselves inside the "museum of tort".

I hope CORSA holds a meet there.

It makes sense that it was the former site of a bank...

Most boring museum ever? I would so say...

Yes....

But will it keep ole lameass out of the next Presidential race ??? PLEEZZ ???

National pinto owners meet? :D

There are many evil things that I'd like to do to such an edifice

I feel 99.9% certain that nearly everyone who hates Ralph Nader has benefited from things he has done or pushed for. The whole Corvair thing is sort of ugly and tragic, but if i had the option to erase everything Ralph Nader has ever done to change that small part of his history, i would kick whoever was presenting that option right in the balls, and of course not take the deal.

And at least do burnouts in the parking lot.

We can only hope!

Go ahead, I'm wearing protection...

The opposite of the Corvair Museum, Is the Bizarro Corvair Museum. Although you have to travel to Htrae to go to it.

As a libertarian and a conservative, Ralph Nader is on the opposing side of almost any debate.

If I saw him in person, I would pat him on the back for a few of the things he has done, and for remaining largely honest as compared to those in his position have become. I would then gently chat with him about how misguided he was about the Corvair and see how he reacted.

Before the last presidential bid of his, must have been 2008, we were walking down mainstreet and I was approached with a petition to get him on the ballot - I signed it without hesitation. I would again. I wouldn't vote for him, though.

In reply to tuna55:

Didn't one of his kids die in a Corvair because they couldn't drive worth a berkeley?

Ralph is well intentioned but sometimes misguided.. a lot of his ideas were just common sense kinds of things that would have happened eventually even without him being the single most prominent person pushing for them..

he might have actually hurt some other movements in his chase to build a safer car:

Nader's wikipedia page said: Several years later, in 1972 Texas A&M University conducted a safety commission report on the Corvair for the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration; it found that the 1960–1963 Corvairs possessed no greater potential for loss of control than its contemporaries in extreme situations.[22] According to Crash Course by Paul Ingrassia, Corvairs were environmentally friendly due to their smaller size and lighter weight. Nader's safety-focused activism negatively affected the cause of eco-efficiency.[23]

I'm tempted to go there with a Camelback hidden inside my jacket and just drip water in random spots on the marble floors it almost certainly has, being an old bank. Then watch the irony begin.

Corvairs are kewl.

I wrote a term paper in college about how dishonest and manipulative Ralph Nader was with "facts" and statistics. It was the only A+ I ever got in college.

If i wrote "he spent most of his time lobbying in congress" you would get basically the same idea from 9 words.

Glad to see someone read between the lines.
