Cool! I work in Elgin and if I didn't have other committments I'd be there. I'm wondering if the local high school science teacher will be there to explain how his class will be learning how to make alternative fuels and putting together an alternative fuel vehicle. In the newspaper it said he had $10,000 in grant money to develop the course and was looking for some one to donate a car.

Tony,

I would like to come, but can't be there in afternoon. Is it ok to come and go during the day, or must the car be parked all day?

I'd like to be there, but I also don't know that I can come for any length of time. Is it possible to come-and-go, or would the cars need to be there at a certain time?

Not knowing how the event is to be set up, but since it is in a municipal parking facility, come-and-go should be OK.

I have some commitments in the morning, but I will be there around lunchtime!
