 I understand that Russia is really growing its Automotive industry to compete in Europe. I was wondering if there are any web sites or companies that I can send my resume to as I am interested in working in Russia especially in the automotive industry. Thank you. ...

 Our country has been through so much in the last thrity years, why don't we put Americans to work and create our own automotive fuels? We could put our Farmers to work truly working to farm corn, send the corn to the desert, and use stills there to make corn alcohol. The heating units could also be corn stoves. The desert would allow us to save heating a great deal during the hot periods. We would need the farmers, general laborers, truckers, and use American products. We could reconstruct the automotive engines using a twenty to one compression ratio with the old-style carburetors increasing the oxygen coming in there and resetting the spark gaps accordingly. It seems to be our best answer in the USA. Why are we NOT exploring such?? ...

 Please offer your suggestions for an Automotive Product Naming project. An automotive theme is preferable and designating a CLEAR rank is critical. The naming should indicate a good, better, best, supreme ranking as product 1 is most basic, 2, and 3 are each covering a bit more and product 4 covers just about everything. Also to keep in mind: products 1, 2 & 3 are what is called "inclusionary" meaning they list the items that are covered. Product #4 is "exclusionary" meaning all items are covered, except for a small list of what is not covered, so some indication of #4 being vastly better or different would be great. Others have used schemes such as Bronze, Silver, Gold, Diamond or Powertrain, Select, Deluxe, Ultimate. There have been suggestions of using octane ratings (87, 89, 93, 110) but these are maybe a little too vague and/or misleading. I look forward to any suggestions presented! Thank you. first gear... overdrive is a great option, but I'd like to see more. I'm not absolutely married to the automotive theme - but the obvious rank is critical - any other 1 2 3 4 ranks? ...
