According to Becky, we could sign a contract with GM to use any of their
car names (including Corvette, Trans Am, others) IF we pay them a fee, and
IF we use excusively GM cars on the game (that means no Ferarri I guess).

Another possiblity is that Peageot (sp?) sounds like they would be willing
to let us use their name for FREE.  But that may not be terribly appealing
to our target market.

Anyway, GM will be sending contracts/releases, etc., as well as a complete
list of all of their car model names to choose from.  

Personally, I'd rather stick to GM as long as the price is not astronomical.
