Future of the Car day is about to begin at our 327-acre Auto Test Center in Connecticut. Unfortunately, the future, and present, includes rain and lots of it. (Presumably, future cars will continue to have windshield wipers.)

We have made a few adjustments in our plans for the day, cutting back on testing demonstrations for obvious reasons. There will still be ride-and-drive opportunities for our guests, as well as panel discussions on future automotive technology and the cars themselves.

Cars continue to arrive this morning, including an electric DeLorean that is a must see.

We will report through the day on the blog, and on our new Twitter feed. (Be sure to sign up to "follow.") Once we dry off, coverage will continue until next week.
