Hi Jarrett, While it's possible you're right, I'm skeptical. It's more likely the cars are on indefinite loan to Georgia Power, or perhaps ownership was transferred to them with special stipulations that they would not be supported by GM. The stipulations might include that the cars not be resold. Auto and motorcycle manufacturers give out lots of vehicles for promotional, evaluation and other purposes. Sometimes the manufacturer "looses track" or doesn't follow up on the whereabouts of a particular vehicle (or several). It's rare that ownership is actually transferred. I think that might open up all kinds of liability and support issues. On the other hand, wouldn't it be nice to find one of the Georgia Power cars on eBay a few years from now? :-) Chris
