An Observation

[Ty]

Hey, anyone know how I should ask the paint colors question... sort of like "What are the HKM values for the red paint?" or "What system of paint color are you guys going to use and what are the identifiers for the colors you'll have?" I know I have the letters wrong.

If you get to into that detail on the paint, I think you should ask whether any of the color codes will be close to HSV (60% 100% 100%) or RGB (255, 255, 0)

Slide in the Q%A that so many folks want yellow. Second generation?
Jerome mentioned, when I asked, that very strong possibility- they'll wait to see what the least popular color is-
let's start ( I have not a clue) voting on which at the end of the year will be the least fav color??

Okay. I'm heading over now.

I would much rather see yellow, instead of the silver they offer. I know battleship gray when I see it. That's the color of my garage floor! I love a metallic silver on vehichles, but have never understood how they can offer what I see on thier site as "silver". After bringing home an orange car last week (see my new avatar), my wife asked me, "are we going to have a fleet of orange cars now"? I think so. Creamsicle is still my favorite color on the Elio, and it will still be my "and" car. But now,I'm not sure about color.

I saw a few FutureEliowner T-shirts but only talked to one of the guys.

This stop was the first at a Pep Boys, Pam Vassallo said.

I did ask some questions.

1. The capitol question and oxygen freezing temp got blank stares, a look of "why the hell are you asking that?", and an awkward silence.
2. The paint system is PPG. The color code for Red Hot will be made available as it is a final color. The others may be tweaked.
3. The trunk will lock but whether that is a lock or pull release from inside wasn't known by the road crew.
4. Hood pins will be different and the hood will lock.
5. While at the Insurance thing a while back, they had the Elio do the cone weave and did it at 65 easy. The driver of the Polaris Slingshot turned off the stability control of the Slingshot and went through at 50 mph... well, part of it. He leaned one way, then the other, then it flipped over on its top and slid on its top in front of the Insurance companies. The guy from the road crew said he and Jerome looked under there because the guy driving got his head dragged along the ground. (He was wearing a helmet)
6. The P5 frame is done... that isn't news but the fact that the rest of the 25 are all under construction was news to me.
7. There are a lot of sagging pants, hookers, and heroin addicts on Central in Albuquerque.... literally, a pile of needles at the Pep Boys corner.
8. If you pull into O'Rielly's Auto parts, you'll have just enough time to say "Where in the hell is Elio. I thought they'd still be here." Before realizing you are half a block from Pep Boys. Don't ask how I know that.
