I'm so glad I got to meet you and Tony. I look forward to visiting again in the future. I love the pictures. Thank you for posting them. Z

Hey Z, I'm so glad you got to finally sit in the Elio. I can't wait to hear your impression of the car! If I missed it somewhere, please let me know. I liked the dress, btw. It wouldn't look right on me but well done! To be honest, no dress would look right on me though.

Now, to patiently wait for your 'report' and the showing here in October! ... P5????? I hope so.... but at least the P4.

My visit was a huge success. I loved every minute of it and I did make a big splash. Now whether it will get over the internet I have no idea. I do have a couple of great pictures of me with Jerome Vassallo but I am going to have to figure out how to download them. I know Sam Bock, Social Media Specialist, took some pictures and there was at least one taken of Jerome and his wife and I.

I was there 4 hours and my impressions of the Elio were:

1. The Color was even better than I expected and I loved it.
2. I found it easy to get into and out of but suspect I will prefer traveling alone in it which is what I do most of the time.
3. My swim bag did fit in the trunk as long as the handle was completely collapsed and the trunk lid did close with it in it.
4. I found the Elio had "grown" in size in my mind so it actually appeared smaller from the outside than I expected. I can understand why people call it a tiny car. LOL
5. I am going to have to lose the left saddlebag because it was difficult to get the door shut because of that. For those of you who have not read my posts, I have lost around 160 pounds over the last few years but was left with rather large saddlebags on my thighs. In this case the arm rest and my saddlebag had a little battle over who was going to give. We did get the door shut but . . . . LOL

I did not ask any technical questions but I spent a lot of time talking about the Elio with staff and with people who spotted my dress and came up and asked me about it. I enjoyed sitting on a bench near by and asking people what they thought. Heard a lot of positive comments about the Elio during the process. I met a couple of men wearing the tire tread Elio t-shirt and visited with them for a while. All in all, I was there for 4 hours, enjoyed eating lunch and spending time visiting with Proud to Be and his friend. And I got to meet Jambe briefly when I first got there. He had been there since about 9:30 in the morning and I got there around 12:30 so he was ready to move on. Proud to Be simply walked up to me when I got near the Elio and said I bet I know who you are! No question about it, I may be short but I still stand out in a crowd. I love my Elio!!!!!! Z

My wife and I will be heading out to the Elio exhibit this afternoon (Saturday). This time, I'll take my camera and take a lot of photos, including "close-angle photos of the front suspension".

Another My Bad - I also met J9design from Bend who is a member here and is interested in connecting with any other members from the Bend area. I told her I knew of one other person who is on the EM FB page and possibly one more and I told her about a person in Cottage Grove. I didn't have names but at least it gave her some sources for looking them up. I look forward to seeing and hearing more from her in the future. My apologies for leaving you off the list of people I met the first time J9. :-) Z

Z, your report magically made it over to this thread also.

Z your picture in that amazing dress made it up on instagram too. Pretty soon you can start charging for autographs and use the money to go "all in"

Zelio, that dress is BOMB! You are a talented designer/seamstress! Did you happen to ask anyone about towing the Mini-Mate behind the Elio? I'm hoping to be able to tow a Timeout from the same company.
