I did not read this entire thread, so I don't know what happened to you.
But I wish you lots of luck and success in whatever comes your way.

I was just a kid, so I don't really remember the history, but I remember the situation with Chrystler back in the 70's. How was that saved? Was the government involved at all or was it all Iacocca's doing?
