Then this open may keep you up all night.

A replacement door of a different color.

I have a Tundra with a mis matched tailgate, and a Mustang with a mis matched (still primer) front end. I see no problem!

I think Jeff Foxworthy has mentioned your driveway.

Interesting thing happened on Saturday that is relative.
Stopped at a stop light, the guy in front throws his car into reverse and bangs into the front of us.
No damage to either vehicle, but we're lucky the air bag didn't go off. It was quite a jolt, but nothing too major.
Enter the relevance...
I wonder what would have happened in my Elio? The don't really have bumpers per se, I don't think. It could have done serious damage. Had he hit one of the out-rigger wheels? Who knows what could have happened.

How many times has that happened to you in your many years of driving? What would happen to any motorcycle in that scenario? There are so many 'what if' scenario's..................we should never leave the house. What if a Semi-truck stopped in front of you backs up and over you while driving a real car? We have insurance and/or AAA to handle those kinds of situations. Don't leave home without it. Drive safe.

The Elio is an enclosed cabin anticipated 5 star safety rated motorcycle.............one should not compare the 1200 pound Elio to a car.........but rather to another three wheel motorcycle.

Agreed. So does anyone have any experience getting backed into on a trike?
I don't.

Just curious, what were you driving and what was he driving?

I was in my Solera. Not sure what he was driving. Some similarly sized sedan.

You drive a Solara. Is that how you were able to get a good looking wife thats in your avatar. There is no way with that bald mug you would have had a shot otherwise I'm just hoping I will be able to get a girl with teeth when I'm in my Elio.
