I will bring back many pictures and videos if possible . I can't wait to sit in an Elio . Any opportunity I have to speak with Elio personnel , questions will be asked . If anyone has any specific questions they would like me to ask , post them up .

1. The driver's seatbelt, will it be attached at the wall on the right or left shoulder? (I'd be easier for passenger if on the right)
2. How are they going to get the extra headroom in back?
3. They are using a Camaro steering wheel. Will the steering column and levers also be from GM?
4. Are they lacking funding to complete development? In other words, can they finish development with funds on hand?
5. Will there be airflow management beneath? (belly pan)
6. Will the exhaust exit through bodywork or beneath? Where will it exit? Is that directly below the fuel door?

These may have been answered before but they are still the questions I'd ask if I were going to see them again. AND, I've asked way more questions than you'll get a chance to ask or that you'd even care to ask. But, those are questions I haven't seen concrete answers for.

I think Wesley will find the tour folks will try to answer any questions he ask ... when I spoke with Jerome, I told him I was going to report the answers back to this forum and he was very helpful .... I asked about #1 and was told it would mount to the wall to the right of the the back of the driver's seat .... asking again sure wouldn't hurt, the engineering work is still in progress and may have changed .... #2 was asked recently and the reported answer was they are reworking the roof line as well as looking at other things ....

Yeah. I know #2 has been answered... both ways... sometimes, they say they'll raise the roof, other times, they say they'll lower the seat. I would like to know which direction they are heading. Of course, I'd LOVE to know if they've started on the final version of the car but I know better than to ask questions they can't/won't answer...

There is pretty much no doubt this showing will result in publicity for EM so hopefully most of the publicity generated will be positive. I would also be surprised if EM, and their New York City based broker dealer, were not lining up potential investors to take a look at the vehicle first hand during this event.
