ok, so i shouldn't have taken another commenter's word without doing the research myself. So, ford owns lincoln, mercury, mazda, and volvo. Any of those could be split off. Gm owns cadillac, chevy, corvette, hummer, opel, pontiac, saab, and solstice (whatever the hell that is). Crystler owns dodge and jeep. Seems like there's some assets that can be shed before the fed needs to step in.
Also:
According to CNN, GM has 74k employees in the US. Crysler's website claims 100K. I can't find any information on ford domestic employment; I found a site claiming 87k employees, but it does not indicate if that is world-wide.
So even if you invested $100,000 in each of these workers, it would be chepaer than what they're asking for in the bailput.
awful cute, but what an inefficient machine! Just going around and around, hitting the same spot multiple times and other spots not at all. Must use a lot more electricity than doing it yourself.

Ford owns Jaguar and Aston Martin, etc., GM owns Vauxhall and Daewoo, etc
Why don't they sell those off to get some cash?!
