Could the next big thing be a car you can fix by yourself if you had to?

The heights by great men reached and kept
were not attained by sudden flight
but they
while their companions slept
were toiling upward in the night

Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

Is it conceivable, that through public and private partnerships, the Piedmont Triad could create more than 10,000 jobs by designing and manufacturing a high quality, simply designed, inexpensive, fuel efficient, modifiable automobile with interchangeable parts that can easily be exchanged between different model years, like the 70’s and 80’s Jeep CJ7’s and VW Beetles?

Employees could be paid on productivity and profitability
and executive pay wouldn’t exceed 25 times the average salary.

Parts could be easily shipped to just about anywhere from the Triad.

Designs and manufacturing equipment from defunct companies should be relatively inexpensive at the moment.

Most Americans would support the concept.

Inexpensive replacement parts.

Manual windows.

Textile interior.

Easily upgradable.

Residents of the municipalites recieving subsidized capital
could recieve a stake.

There is plenty of available manufacturing space in the Piedmont Triad, some of which could be bartered for in exchange for equity.

Design to be slept in if nessessary.

Designed with a high enough clearance to be worked on without a jack.

Partner with GTCC for worker education.

Partner with Cone for health care.

All parts made in North Carolina
or somewhere in the United States if nessessary.
