I would have never had guess that a vent no larger than a pinhole could be worth so much money,Golden Dollar but Jack Evans could receive that much from GM if he wins a court battle scheduled to begin the end of this year.

Evans claimed that GM stole his design for an engine cooling system when he worked as a consultant for the company in the 1980s. He filed a $600 million lawsuit in 1994, accusing GM of using his design - built around a vent no larger than a pinhole - in millions of cars and trucks.
