Income Tax Disclosure [Text Block]	N OTE 6 – TAXES Our effective tax rate was 48.1% and 16.4% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015. Our effective rate for the six months ended June 30, 2015 differs from the statutory rate primarily due to the impact of the $1,000 non-deductible NHTSA penalty accrued during the period, which reduced the tax benefit recorded on the year-to-date pre-tax loss. Our effective tax rate was (343.9)% and 44.7% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014. Our effective tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2014 differed from the statutory rate due to an adjustment to our tax provision recorded in the quarter as a result of a change in our expectations for our full year financial performance. During the second quarter of 2014, we recorded an income tax credit of $202 to increase the balance of the tax benefit recorded for the first half of 2014 to our then current estimated full year effective tax rate of 44.7%. Our effective rate for the six months ended June 30, 2014 differed from the statutory rate due to non-deductible expenses forecasted for the full year, including additional accruals related to the Utilimaster earn-out contingency.
