The Iowahawk Council Of Automotive Advisors
Political humorist and car writer David "Iowahawk" Burge has posted an exhaustive list of advisers he would sign if President Obama appointed him to take care of Detroit.
Iowahawk's very sound restructuring plan is based on getting advice from people who build the most awesome—and most American—cars:
Every new day seems to offer a fresh assload of ideas for saving the U.S. automotive industry, most of which are proposed by law professors and involve—shockingly—the mass hiring of law professors. [...] The industry is not suffering from a lack of law professors—it is suffering from a lack of imagination. They gave us cup holders and electric seat warmers when we wanted angel fur and bubble tops. They pushed micro-clown cars and hybrids when the market was rife for chromed 8-deuce Chrysler Hemis. Well, Bucko, all that outmoded thinking is going to end during the reign of Czar Dave.
He then continues with a wonderful list of people who make, well, awesome American cars. Like Bill Bierman of the Creative Customs Chop Shop, maker of Freakshow, seen here and above and described by Iowahawk as "a pink flaked, green flamed pickup with an 8 duece blown Hemi, refridgerated full keg with console mounted beer tap, rifle rack with matching pink machine gun, and angel fur cab full of Playboy models."
