This has changed from what it was. Competition from the Japonese
changed design radically, and the minivan and utility vehicles didn't
exist that long ago. I myself haven't started my truck's engine for a
week - which isn't rare for me. (When I was in the mountains, it was
often weeks at a time - and when fruit was most plentiful - at the end
of the day I'd set my mules ahead of me and run to town behind them, up
and down the hills).

Or what?
That, a solid plan and a lot of hard work.

Sounds good. It'll take a coordinated effort, and the right model
needn't begin on a grand scale.
