	There's something that I do like about this concept. It helps people
investigating EVs to be able to assign a value to them. Right now the whole
concept of value is probably drawn only from a few conversions that are for sale
and may have very motivated sellers.
	
	I would propose that Mike Chancey add a "Value:" designation on the
photo album listings. The field should allow people to post either a price,
or a description of what makes the car transcend any amount of a worthless, 
diluted, fiat currency that a government chooses to print, or perhaps both ;^)
That way someone who is checking out the album will learn how valuable these 
cars are to their owners, or perhaps find a deal that pleases both them and 
the builder. Either way, seeing that next $3000 or $5000 EV might seem like much 
more of a bargain that it did before, which I think was the point of all this.

OT comment: It's interesting to note that Greenspan has placed more currency 
into circulation than ALL federal printing offices or officials throughout this 
country's entire history.
