yes, with Booroo's reputation of reliability and handling in bad weather and the most economical AWD ever made How could I go wrong?
I got rid of a 1985 lifted Ramcharger that ate u-joints like potato chips and got about 8 mpg.
Well I did go wrong. Car got about 15 mpg (better than 8) My monster Suburban got 15
and the oil leaks were like a wack-a-mole game, fix one 2 pop up.
a/c would not let the car go up hills very fast. It left me stranded at least 4 times (not from oil leak). Walking home on a highway from the last breakdown I had lots of time to think about how this story should end. a crusher? a bonfire? over a cliff? .......no just let a dealer pawn this POS on some unsuspecting victim.

I deliver pizzas with a guy who eats breathes and lives on Subarus...trouble is while he owns close to 20 different ones, only a couple actually are road worthy enough to drive. I recall one day last winter he was stuck in 1st gear delivering pizzas in the city in the snow :D.

I was thinking... Instead of hiding progress on the p5 to manage our "expectations", elio motors should put up a live webcam of the p5 build... i think it would generate a lot of excitement, traffic and PR... and they could still update us with high quality pics and other words that say stuff and things...
Oh yeah. THAT would be good for my daily productivity at work!

Would you want a camera watching you all the time at work so that someone could satisfy their curiosity?
Then we could have the haters second guessing why one high quality shot rather than another.

Umm, I think this is already happening.... that's why I keep tape over my laptops camera, and tin foil on my head.

This would be much more stylish. Save the tin foil for your baked potatos.

I don't think time lapse video showing the P5 build progress posted by EM at the end of the week would be objectionable or infringe on a workers privacy. I would settle for an EM statement saying that the P5 Build is going well and ahead of schedule.

Are we certain the P5 Build is underway?
