If anyone is interested, I hijacked the html for my www.carorder.com
quote on a new Dakota and put it up on one of my websites.
http://www.fishyfish.com/dakotaorder.html I'd be interested in what
folks think about this configuration and whether or not it's a real deal.
Beware, It loads very slowly because of their complex code.
