Hi Folks,
Just in case you are nearby the venue and have the time to drop by, here's an opportunity to listen to Chrysler LLC corporate folks. It is during regular working hours, so I probably won't be able to go, but if anyone does go pls. be sure to take pics. There supposedly will be one of the ENVI electric cars on view.
Regards
Rick
