    Judging by what I read here sometimes, half of the owners (or potential owners) are here at any given moment. But then again, so are their brethren owners of McClaren and Rolls Royce. :)

    A reporter is looking for vehicle owners with a rear entertainment system who have used it for more than just entertaining the kids on a long trip. Has an adult used it frequently on long trips by sitting in the back? Have you taken a break at work by catching part of a movie in your back seat? If your hotel didn't have a DVD player on a family vacation, have you hauled the family out to the car to catch a movie? Please respond via e-mail by April 6 to jeff@selingo.com.

    how former? I had a '74 that never quite made it on the road and a '75 as a donor for the '74. But methinks they are looking for something a bit more recent, eh? ;)

    I'm making my final changes to the paperback edition of The End of Detroit, which comes out this fall. If anyone I interviewed for the book has an update to what we discussed last year, I'd love to hear from you.

    And if Town Hall members have strong thoughts on the direction Detroit needs to take to become more competitive, I'd love to hear that, too. Feel free to email me directly at micheline@michelinemaynard.com.
