Yeah! Get this damn think built so I can buy one. If they ever build one, the question won't be "Am I still interested? ", it'll be "How many will I buy?"

You guys shouldn't get so fired up about ppl thinking it isn't going to work. They have valid reasons to think that way.

And Trump will never win the Republican nomination..........
And Trump will never win the Electoral College.....
And PE will give up his life long dream????
Somehow I don't think I'll go with your conventional wisdom!
Note: This was not a political statement.
And I respect your opinion!

I think I figured out why I tire of the naysayers; I'm not that negative of a person. It just sounds to me that the naysayers are trying to convince people to be naysayers too; "we don't believe it going to happen, so you should too"

Guess what, I'm not changing my mind until I see it happening. I went in believing it will happen, and the only thing that will change that belief is seeing it close and an announcement that the game is over.

So stop trying to get me to change my mind, that is not going to happen.
I don't think you can paint with such a broad brush when discussing "naysayers." For instance, I would consider myself a hopeful skeptic. I think it's good to have people that provide a bit of balance with regard to the hope, or optimism.

Certainly there are people that take it to extremes on both sides, but a certain amount of skepticism is healthy.
A little reverse psychology and Coss will be ok! :D

I said the same thing over two years ago and have said it occasionally ever since...

If it's the dream that's most important to Paul (as it's made out to be) and not the potential hundreds of millions...

Then he'll make the dream happen at almost any cost to himself. If not, then he's not who he seems.
It's common for a business owner to sell the control of their business simply to see the business survive.
Most of the sales include tidy little sums for the selling owners and guaranteed "advisor" salaries in the terms.

A couple of million plus a little stock and $250,000/YR for ten years is better than having nothing but world-wide notoriety.
My sentiment exactly!

I maintain that, just like it pertains to my exercising five hours yesterday and three hours tonight...
"The question is not can you do it, the question is will you do it." I say it's all about Paul.

I have to agree. My $1,000 is gone and Paul Elio will make a great episode on CNBC's American Greed.

"On this episode of American Greed, an owner of an auto start up dupes people into giving him over $25Million in deposits. All while never intending to produce a vehicle....." (Que the American Greed Music)

It would go something like that if it ended up on there.

Speaking of that show, I know a business owner that was scammed the exact same way as on American Greed. I show the episode a year before about a person who paid for expensive things with a credit card. The card wouldn't work and the scammer had some excuse and told the store to call the credit card company. The scammer would give the store the phone number to the "credit card company" for authorization. The person on the other end was another scammer too and it sound very professional. They gave the store the go ahead and "approved" the purchase. (missing some minor details).
- A yr or so after watching that episode, I was talking to a motorcycle shop owner and he said that exact same thing happened to him. He was lucky and got the bike back.
