You said, "….Like all of us that cannot be in NY today, I’m waiting the results of the meeting,  … Think it may be that Nasaman will be hired by the GM team!  What a loss this could be for us and what a gain for the design team, …"

Very flattering, Jean-Charles. But I couldn’t really consider it & GM couldn’t either. I’m too hooked on living in my home on the pristine 300-mile St. Johns river in Florida, piloting my boat from down south near the space center, north to Jacksonville at the Georgia/Florida border & all points between, then back home —the boating, fishing, skiing & overnighting on this river flowing through countless miles of stunning wilderness is matchless. I’ve been to 25 other countries in my work for the U.S. space program and nothing else I’ve seen matches this relatively undiscovered, wide, deep wilderness river (you can safely dip a cup in anywhere & drink the water or anchor your boat along a tree-shrodded shore to sleep safely undisturbed overnight) —it’s heaven on earth (but don’t tell anyone about it)!!!  

BTW, now that I’ve retired NASA pays me $300/hr to do what I’d be willing to do for free! GM’s board would never approve that (2080hrs/yr x 300= $624,000)! [However, in the unlikely event GM called I'll happily help in any way I could for free + travel expenses or by phone, fax, email, etc.]

I completely agree. 5 door is the way to go.  I am really pleased to hear this.  It is a very large plus for me.

Koz – thanks for the excellent reports.
