    If I should win a $2,000,000,000 lottery, I would like to start a car company like De Lorian did, which would offer an SUV with 6 cyl motor, manual transmission, rear wheel drive, front bench seat that goes all the way across; very simple accessories
    like a heater, radio, compass, map reader, plug in for digital devices; and instruments showing mileage, gas, oil temp, water temp, speedometer, and charging. Then I would offer the upholstery in Levi denim and the tires as all-season. Spare tire and
    tools fit underneath the rear compartment. A second model could be the same SUV frame, but have a small pick-up style bed instead of rear compartment. Not sure if outside mirrors could be replaced by wrap-around inside rear-view mirror.

    Then sell the same car, instead of new models every year like Detroit. Start SUV car clubs featuring my new American model doing competitive driving contests.
