Hi Larry,I am retired and agree with all that you said but am wondering about the part where the auto makers should make cars that the people want. I think that they are going to have a hard time with that part. They were building the large vehicles because that is what the people were buying. Those people could have bought the smaller ones before the high gas prices but most didn't. I have never had one of those small cars and don't intend to buy one either. In fact I have never bought a new car. Some people need a larger vehicle because of the number of people that they haul or to haul supplies, a camper or whatever. For myself, it doesn't pay to even spend $1,000 for a small vehicle and then buy plates and insurance and have a place at home to park it, to save a little gas when I don't need the larger vehicle. Now someone who drives a lot of miles to work and don't mind a small vehicle it may pay off. I car pooled to work a lot even though it was only 5 miles because it kept another vehicle off the road. I am wondering what type of vehicle the big three should build that the people would really want and would buy. An electric one? There goes our electric rates up again. :o)

After a few paragraphs I usually close the book and go back to banging out dents. A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point
