I will drive my Elio anytime I don't need to carry a load. We have a Ford pickup, a Toyota van and a Scion Xb that we call our "Li'l Toaster on wheels", so, you can see that we absolutely need an Elio to fill out the corral. Actually, it will probably replace the Scion as our economy car.
Like most of you, I remind myself of the kid Ralphie in A Christmas Story, jus' dreamin' away about cruisin' up a shady, winding Ozark highway, in my Elio, with "Born to be wild" blastin' on the stereo, catching third gear and powering around a curve....I guess you could call it "Eliomania"...
