Gonzo should beat a path to this guy's door. It could very well be the one case in this lifetime that even he couldn't lose.

The great country singer George Jones did the same thing in Nashville many years ago. Except he was on a riding lawn-mower.

This is how truly great innovations get nipped in the bud. A real tragedy.

If GM was building vehicles like this THAT PEOPLE WANT, they wouldn't be in the financial fix they're in.
