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
