I always laugh at guys trying to make 3,4,6 cyl engines sound tough. Sounds like a leaf blower to me. Can't wait to get the 460 built in the next couple weeks for my jetboat; that'll play some wicked exhaust music.

Uhhhh, if you knock the support pole out and the hatch hits you in the melon, it should be the last time you knock the support pole out. You'll need to learn not to stick your head in the path of the dropping hatch if you think you're clumsy enough to knock it out again.

Design it, source it, and sell it.

3cyl can be made smoother by utilizing a balance shaft or a heavier flywheel/harmonic balancer. They are not inherently smooth. If you want a smooth engine, a V12 provides the smoothest geometry.

Agreed. I still have major seller's remorse after selling my '02 540iA sport to buy a '97 850Ci. I have minor seller's remorse for trading off the 850Ci last summer. An E38 sport is still on my bucket list.

So what you're saying is: MSRP -$500, then -$1000 down payment; pre-taxed. So ..... $1500 down payment. Unless dealer prep and destination are based on a percentage of vehicle cost you've outlined a simple $1500 down payment.

"This is the most popular choice for reservations. At this level you will: - Be given as a bonus, 50% of your reservation amount off your final purchase, up to an additional $500." Kinda vague, but sounds to me like the 50% bonus is deducted from the final invoice price; i.e. the bottom line...

Yep, sounds like another 3card alias ....

You place a $1000 (just as an example), non-refundable, place-holding deposit, and you receive a 50% 'bonus' for allowing them to use your money, so you effectively get a $1500 down payment. It's pretty simple, and very clearly outlined on the website.

Which parts suppliers are inexperienced?? Why do you assume a parts supplier should have extensive knowledge of the vehicle manufacturing process, and why should they? Assuming the U.S. market - what makes you think they'd sell many kits? The general public thinks cooking a hotdog in a...

Of course you can. Even the refills for my BMWs are sold individually. Of course the dash pieces are custom designed for Elio. Think before you ask these questions, Mitch. Twenty points higher than me? Thinks a big Geo Metro dash like that will fit in an Elio?

The Mustang blue is very similar to Grabber Blue, much nicer than the performance blue and the chalky Elio blue.

That's a beautiful SVX; almost bought one last year, but couldn't find a decent one that was either just front wheel drive, or one that had the transmission replaced already. The SVX style front/rear windows would add significant cost to the bottom line.

It depends on the coverage you select. I have full coverage (comp & collision) on my bike, plus medical coverage for myself & passenger in addition to uninsured motorist coverage. The liability portion covers the other driver and their property if you're at fault. If you don't want to drop...

"Division 3: Paint Division — Priming consists of the dip process of the body frame for anti-corrosion and the color side for painting the body panels utilizing an environmentally friendly “dry process.”" The 'dry process' for painting the body panels intrigues me. Is this a powder paint...

Colors are colors, and they all have names - so because someone is calling the Lexus color the same as an Elio color, they're imitating it? The body much more resembles a 350/370z or a G35 than an Elio. So if I named my kid the same name as you named your kid - my kid is imitating yours? I...

So what you're really saying is that Elio is imitating all the other makers who have produced orange cars? o_O I'd have to drink a bottle of Jack, spin slowly hopping on one foot, close one eye, and have a buddy poke my open eye before I'd see a similarity of the Elio and the Lexus.

So ...... carry full coverage and add medical coverage. Still cheaper than auto insurance.

A As long as they add the red scanning lights on the lower hood, and I can control Elio using voice commands with my watch, I'm good with that. I don't know that Paul would be willing to change his last name to Knight though .....
