Just heard on the news that Trump had a talk with Ford Motor company and shortly after Ford announced it has changed its plans to build a car in Mexico. I will now be built in the U.S.. Didn't get any details, but should be more on the evening news. Maybe this is a sign that Trump will be sympathetic to Elio getting it's loan...??

Only if he learns about it. Write your letter now!

If and when this vehicle gets to production it will be a hit. But to get there is monumental task to complete. Let's all stay positive I'm all in till that time. Bob b. 98
