The party is over in Detroit, and the media and fans are slowly making their way back to the various parts of the nation. I’m sure as those fans head home, they will look back and be pleasantly surprised at their experience in the Motor City.

As the recent economic crisis hits the nation hard, few industries feel the blow as severely as Detroit’s Big Three automakers. After Ford, General Motors and Chrysler experienced sales losses in excess of 30 percent in November, according to an Associated Press report, the once-mighty corporations have asked Congress for a $34 billion bailout.
