[DeTomaso] Tough times for sports cars ?

[michael at michaelshortt.com]

The bean counters will kill the industry, they started as soon as Earl
left the building, the few hold outs like Delorean, Luz, Duntov,
Shinoda(sp), Ioccoca, have all dug in and now sadly they are gone as
well ( maybe not dead, but nevertheless gone from the business ).
We all have captured lighting in a bottle with our cars and should
remember that we as hobbyists and real drivers have an obligation to
keep the flame ( and tires, while they are available) burning.
