Thanks for posting that, Ron...I do hope folks know the difference between buying assets and buying a business. We've been discussing this at Gasholes in private--sort of a shadow jury, if you will.

As I asked there...is this someone buying Levi's "Dockers" brand and the plant where they are made, or did somebody buy "Levi's" itself?

Like most folks reading this, I find the scenarios here are only mildly interesting. Respective cheerleaders have come out to try to raise enthusiasm for their team, but in reality the game is decided by the players themselves.

Obviously, it is a good thing when a well-respected Cobra builder is able to continue operating in some form and fashion. It is good for all of us as consumers.

The only thing I've read thus far that really cracks me up is Evan's extreme use of the term "fabricator". I think that tagline could be used when refering to any of the entities being spoken about on these pages. If someone builds the body and frame, while someone else merely hangs on a suspension...who is the "fabricator" as that term is being used? I personally believe each and every one of the entities to be builders. Each has a proud history, but I want to know what they are doing (or building) now.
