Driving to DC

Quote:

. . . GM Chairman and CEO Rick Wagoner will drive a Chevrolet Malibu hybrid to Washington for Thursday’s Congressional hearings on bridge loans for the auto industry. Some of Wagoner’s staff may fly down, but the embattled chairman plans to take the wheel.

Likewise for Ford CEO Alan Mulally. He will drive a Ford Escape hybrid with a few staffers. They will take turns behind the wheel just like any other family on a road trip. Chrysler says that its CEO Robert Nardelli hasn’t finalized his plans

Let's see:

Malibu hybrid - "mild," it won't have many opportunities to do any hybrid things but just cruise down the road. He isn't taking a Tahoe two-mode?
Chrysler hybrid - <TBD> (sneakers?)
Ford Escape - a serious hybrid and good ride

When a puppy does something bad in the house, it is common practice to put their nose right up against it. Wagner is no longer puppy.

Have you heard? The companies are asking for MORE (32 bill did I hear?).
