I think it's a brilliant idea, honestly. We have engineers, aerospace designers, graphic artists, back yard gurus and every other component necessary (including our own private funding) necessary to really lay down some copyrights and design our own complete vehicle, or vehicles which could in theory "best the next best thing."

The major auto makers ought to be asking us for ideas, and no doubt there are people registered or not reading the forums stealing ideas already to make production model vehicles back on our backyard ideas.

I'm all for the idea, I'd put my bottom dollar that if maybe 15-20 individuals from each state got together we could all design and build some of the most eco-friendly and good looking cars. Once 50 car prototypes are complete, meet up in one central location, and get the attention of every big name in the business. Narrow it down based on the general public's opinion on what the best features and vehicles are and build 4 or 5 100+ mpg machines that everyone would buy.

Believe me when I say, it is entire possible for this forum to pull it off, people just have to put their money where their mouth is and stick with it. That is the hardest part, getting people to remain optimistic about the whole project even under direct scrutiny from outsiders.
