Chevrolet car built from 1960-1969. First popular American car built with a RR (rear-engined, rear-wheel drive) drivetrain layout, and a horizontally opposed engine. It was popular in all model-years it was produced, although its sales were diminished beginning in 1965 following the introduction of the Ford Mustang and Ralph Nader's report "Unsafe at Any Speed", which attacked the Corvair for having stability problems and dangerous fuel systems(although Chevrolet did correct these problems in 1965). The Corvair was one of the first "import killers" manufactured, being small, sporty, and economical. The simple Horizontally-Opposed 164 cu. 6-cylinder engine was easy to service and required little maintnence, and got excellent gas mileage. It was the only car to incorporate a 4-wheel fully independent suspension system (besides the Corvette) in the 1960's, one of the first two cars to use a turbocharger, and the first car to feature a folding rear seat for additional cargo room.
That '64 Corvair Spyder sure looks good, but I prefer my '66 Corvair Corsa Turbocharger.

Ralph Nader Likes Craig Halls V8 corvair, but he is a Jack Wad.
Corvair by Wadded Jack October 28, 2008
A 1960's piece of shit that Chevrolet produced to piss off Americans thus leading them to purchase higher quality cheaper Japanese pieces of shit. Now considered a collectors item as it is amazing any survived this long without spontaneously combusting while being pushed down the road after breaking down. Typically driven by communist middle aged men named Al with unresolved homosexual issues.
Man look at that fag pushing that Corvair, he should have bought a Civic!

V8 Corvair

Did you see that Jack Wad Craig Hall in his Yellow & Black V8 Corvair doing burnouts infront of Ralph Naders house?

corsaired 

to get corsaired: When one looks good on paper and gets interviews for a job, but completely fails to convert a single interview into a job offer due to a lack of personality or social skills. Especially used in context of on-campus interviews for post-graduation recruiting, whether for college, law school, business school, graduate school, job fairs, or anywhere one has the opportunity to interview with multiple employers for entry-level positions.
A: "What are you doing after graduation?"
B: "I don't know yet...still looking for jobs."
A: "I thought you had a lot of interviews? That sucks."
B: "I don't know what happened. I'm graduating summa cum laude, too"
A: "What happened is you got cosaired."

X: "Do I come off as socially awkward to you?"
Y: "No...why do you ask?"
X: "Well I have a few interviews coming up and I'm afraid of getting corsaired."
