Another electric car "fire sale."

Fisker is the company's name.  They make 100,000 dollar luxury electric plug-in cars.  They managed to build 239,  but has had to recall everyone of them for fear of engine compartment fires . . .  adding new meaning to the notion of "fire sale."

In a related bit of news, there have been 33 such fires reported against the Chevy Volt this past year and that car's sales total was around 6,000 for the 2011 year when Toyota  Camrey sales were near 25,000.  Both companies are subsidized by the Obama Administration.  Fisker has received nearly  $1 billion for Obama and the Volt has received well over $3 billion in  assistance plus a government "donation" of $7,500 for each car sold  (reimbursement to the customer - a bride from Obama to get people to buy these things).
