Autoline isn’t in Detroit this week and believe me, this was no easy trip to the Nation’s Capital. Washington, DC is being hit by snow, snow and more snow and thankfully, Mr. McElroy is a cross-country skier and somehow has led his team straight into DCA so that we can get a latest and greatest report on the state of the automotive union … or in other words, we’re getting a look into regulations.

The show will have a general theme focusing on government regulation and how it is expected to affect the next generation of cars, but throughout the show we’ll be fielding viewer questions and asking them to our guests, so you never know where the discussion will go.
