Good on 'ya - great letter.

But to be honest, to get to $30k you're either going to have to build
it in the Americas or get the govt. to drop the import tariffs. IIRC,
it was called the "chicken tax" and was slated for repeal in 2006.
Don't know what happened to it and there's  debate on what would
trigger the tax. Do remember the dealer complaining that an import
tax made the Eurovan too $$ to compete in the US.
