My trip if I made it would be 1200 miles too. I was thinking about a rental car that could be given back in Shrevport. Not sure that they would even have a rental place tere. Last time I was there was whe I did my basic training around 1970. Not sure that I would be confortable pushing the car to its limits at highway speed without breaking it in.
Richad,
I will be going to the plant to pick up my Marshmallow Elio with Sour Apple strips, and driving it back to Portland Oregon, WAG, 2800 miles heading back, I will even be visiting your State in my travels back, I am going to Chino Valley AZ, to visit my family first, then a couple of little stops along the way back to Portland...
I was a little worried about engine warm up... so I asked Elio Motors about engine breaking in time ... They said that this motor will not need any breaking in time and should be no problem driving the 2800 miles home to Portland...
I believe Elio Motors is telling the truth about the no breaking in time for this engine... because, it would really look bad for Elio Motors, if the first few thousands of Elio's to ever hit the streets of the US, in HISTORY... started having engine problems right away, it would be totally over for Elio Motors if that happened in the beginning of their start up...
I just Don't see that happening... to much is on the line for them to fail to deliver a good running Autocycle... If anything the first Elio's should be just what you ordered... and running great... all smiles...
We are going to be the biggest sales force Elio Motors could every ask for... They have to make it work right... no other options...
I am looking forward to my 2800 miles adventure to get back to my home. with a little hope I will have my drone also, so I can take pictures along the way back...
My production number is #2225, so I will be getting my Elio, a little before you and Zelio get yours...
So I may have to stop in and see the " Queen of Elio " and maybe have lunch with her, again... just to show off MY new Elio... :-) and give her a report on how well it is doing on the road, so when she pick hers up, from the factory, she will have no worry's about driving it home, or for her camping adventures to come ...
Proud to Be... an Elio owner..#2225... see ya on the road... give me a wave...
