Some interesting suggestions Mike, but as anyone who has followed Todd's career closely over the last 30+ years would summize, Todd doesn't like to look in the rear view mirror. In fact I think he doesn't like to look in the mirror at all (musically speaking).
A "Runt" tour or "Something/Anything 35th Anniversary Tour" (which would be in 2007) ain't in the cards, IMHO.
I find this "New Cars" tour mildly interesting since Todd always performs better when pushed by a band. Kasim and Prairie are talented musicians. As for the original Cars dudes -- I'm interested enough to go see them.
I'll judge after I see them live and hear the CD.

What I don't understand is that if Todd wants to go out and play other
band's material to make some extra cash, why doesn't he just go on another
greatest hits tour with his own material, like Back to the Bars? Why
doesn't he do a Runt tour, I'd pay to see that! He's got two LPs worth of
material plus some choice covers would make a nice show. How about getting
back together with Stewkey and the Nazz folks! Hell, I've seen the
Raspberries, The Choir and Artful Dodger lately. I know, he wouldn't make
as much money, but at least he'd be playing his own stuff and have a little
dignity.
