 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 
 Martin
Poor Bob. Maybe he should buy two.
