Not to completely disagree with Don, but there are frequently opportunities for the garage start-ups to make a name in those communities. If you are interested, look for opportunities at:
www.fbo.gov
All federal business opportunities are posted there from paving the parking lot of a VA hospital to building the next blah blah blah. There were some very distinct opportunities through a couple specialized programs that DARPA was working on. The website is difficult to can be confusing and difficult to navigate.
H&H got a pretty good contract to make a ridculous vehicle (though it looks like an absolute blast to run around in).
