He'll be live on video here thanks to Drive, and I will be here to act as your proxy to help with visual questions, ideas, whatever. Use Kinja to enter your questions below, and we'll pass them on to J Mays.
When else can you ask questions directly to one of the most influential living auto designers, and have him right there, talking, while I stand around with a sketchpad? Never, that's when, so think of some good ones and take advantage of this. It'll be fun.
Ask questions below and we'll answer in the comments and in the video above.

UPDATE 2: He's done answering questions. You can read the questions answered in the text below, and see the video of him answering questions above. Thank to J. Mays and everyone else for participating.
