Tommaso, don't give me credit for the FMO "fix-up" idea, that was MB as far as I know (I've since noticed their name on the Champion spark plug I changed). I think it's a sound basis going forward. I like OWC for the same idea that I can't see such a "needed" company possibly allowed to not exist. Same for Coleman (ala Sunbeam) IMO. Regarding cars selling for half price - I talked to a bartender who had a family member working at Ford and they had ridiculous advantages for family members buying a new car "yearly" from them. The incentive was such that it'd be foolish for all allowed family members NOT to buy a new car at that rate every year and sell their one year old car above what they paid for it. Better than ESOP! The profit margins on the SUV's & pickups was disgusting. Madison Avenue's success. regards, Tom
