Do NOT drive your Elio to Alaska! Normal tires are not meant for Alaskan gravel roads. The gravel is sharp edged, not weathered smooth like ours, and it cuts tires. I had 4.5 flat tires (one was a failed patch) in my two months there. Trust me, a pump-up air can will not do the job up there!
while I'd love to be able to do so, there ain't no way we would so much as seriously consider driving an Elio to Alaska and back .... that said, my bet is it won't be long after they go into full production that someone will give it a go ....
