I'd prefer they let the big three land where they may, and bailout
the
auto industry itself by helping some of the many startups who are
trying to develop and bring to market cars that will be the envy of
the world.
As to the first part, sounds like you're on the right side of the
issue. But
if the big 3 were out of the picture would these other companies not
be able
to raise capital in the private market?

Who are these companies? I haven't seen anything about them.

Well, I have two friends who just bought Teslas. One actually got to
drive it from the factory to the paint shop.


Really, really neat cars! I have to wonder how they'd work out when
it's twenty below and there's a foot of snow on the road. gr

I guess they'll find out when they take them to Tahoe come winter. In any
case, I'm hoping for a test drive. :-)


Lucky bugger,,,now that's the car Bob should buy if he's serious about his
drive and his environmental friendliness. Great status too, he could brag
for months about the deal he got...

Cheers

Poor Bob. Maybe he should buy two.
