It would be mighty interesting to see how forgiving and understanding that last (one, ten, or one hundred) ‘reservationist(s)’ are. They got the opportunity to pay in but missed all the ‘entertainment and fun.’

One ‘s ‘karma’ is probably made healthier by demanding responsibility rather than protecting the irresponsible by silence.

It has been almost two years with zero news, it’s anyone’s guess when anything substantive or accurate was ever reported. There are people struggling to get their ‘refundable’ deposits returned, that says it all.

I do agree the we don’t need to be told, but the ‘unentertained’ people out there, do need to be told: at any given moment there are maybe zero to three members on this forum, but typically 35 to 150 visitors: that’s a responsibility, IMHO.

Unfortunately , The 35-150 " visitors" are simply bots . The 0-3 members that occasionally drop in are all that remain in this dystopian group . I wonder how feasible it would be to offer Elio $10k for one of their prototypes . They don't need them .

I don't like they still accept people's reservation. I think they should at least tell them current timeline before letting someone reserve. When I reserved many years ago I had no clue how long it had been to that point since they started.

There is no rocket science involved in an Autocycle similar to an Elio. You can probably get something similar finished at a custom shop for cheaper(maybe $20k, without a finished body) than what EM would sell a prototype for right now, or in the future. But $10k ?. Ah,, nope.

I also thought it was going to happen and was looking forward to it. But I'm not too disappointed because:

1. I learned about the Six Shooter Old Radio Series with Jimmy Stewart. I love the different shows and fall asleep to them most nights. If it wasn't for someone on this forum who was going to listen to them driving his Elio home from the factory, I would have never knew about them.
2. Been worth it for the entertainment. I have spent countless hours on this site and have enjoyed listening to peoples views and opinions about the Elio.

Cheer up, if you didn't spend it on the reservation/stock, it would be in the bank doing you no good or you would have spent it on something else and it would still be gone.
Cool that there's another OTR fan here. Love The Six Shooter. I go to sleep listening to Jack Benny most nights. :) I got started 30+ years ago listening to the Drama Hour on KNX1070 out of Los Angeles.

If you don’t mind using the internet for OTR, there’s a great site that has hundreds of programs: dumb.com . Yup, that’s the name, but they do have a lot of content, most with the old ads, too.

It's been since around October or November of 2018 since the reservation system shut down.

That's cool. When I went there it seemed like I still could. But obviously didn't go far enuff to enter my credit card number in again.
