Hello From The Hoosier State

My name is Cary Bettenhausen. My late father raced in 21 Indianapolis 500s and I just did $100 all-in and joined up here earlier today. I'll be watching how things progress with Elio Motors and may bump my all-in amount progressively as the deadline approaches.

I'm really rooting for Elio Motors. I enjoy aviation as well and this design strikes a sweet sounding chord with me.

Welcome to the Elio family and to the journey.

Welcome C., to the forum.

I like Indiana. Nice friendly folks even in Indy .

I am from Baltimore Maryland and a lifelong Ravens fan. Give me crap but in a teasing manner for my Ravens gear.

Wasn't like that in Pittsburgh when I got dirty looks for my Super Bowl 47 Ravens gear in an Outback restaurant. All eyes were on me right after we won that game. But as I'm a big boy at 6'3 and 280 I just smiled and laughed at those Steelers fans.

Best rivalry in the NFL...Ravens/Steelers.

Cary, I had the PLEASURE of watching your dad race at Indy several times. Welcome to the Elio forum!

Welcome to the start of the Elio Nation...

Just about everything you wanted to know about Elio is here, plus a lot of good people who believe in Elio Motors are here also...

Welcome to this new Grand Adventure which we are all a part of.... if your in for a $1,000 or $100... you are in, that means you believe, and with so many people believing in the Elio Motors will happen...

I would like to own at least One share, of this company, it would be like having One share, of Ford Motor Company when it first started...

When Elio's start hitting the streets, and people see what they are like, and the custom paint jobs we do to them, the sales will go wild... it will be the start of the Elio Nation if not Elio World... ( it could happen ).

When Ford first started production plant, "they" said it would never work... look what happen with that....

(Side note... Ford sold out to big Oil to run his cars, His first plans were to run his cars on chicken shit for farmers... but he was paid-off/funded by big Oil...Paul Elio is not funded by big Oil... and down the line they may have one that runs on chicken shit... or propane/electric...)

Because these new low fuel/electric vehicles are come out... Now they want to charge us by the miles we drive, Government is not getting the most gas tax money they want... so "they" have a test program starting up, where you can get a gas tax refund if you don't drive a lot... on the flip side... if you drive a lot you will have to pay the regular gas tax.... plus " New Road Usage Tax "... Wow, what a fun idea... more power to DMV....

I could be wrong about this new gas tax program, because I don't have all the facts in this matter... but I don't like the sound of it....

So Now " they " want to charge us more, because we want to save money by using a low fuel/electric vehicle.... Why am I not surprised...

This is the start of the Elio Nation.. and now you are a new member... so welcome... and hang in there... it will happen...


Proud to Be.. member #2225Z in the Elio Nation.... see ya on the road

Welcome fellow Hoosier! Glad to have you on board .
