    Raising Money From The Sale Of Surplus Equipment At The Shreveport Facility.

    There's a 2500 ton press, along with a bunch of hydraulic hemming presses-which I am not familiar with, listed on the ebay site. So it's a reasonable assumption that the purchase included the stamping equipment.

    Raising Money From The Sale Of Surplus Equipment At The Shreveport Facility.

    TE really needs to do homework before posting. Like, perhaps looking to see what is listed for sale. Personally, I was hoping to see a stamping press in the 600-1000 ton range. My company is looking for one, and they're scarce. The 2500 ton is just too big for our needs, but will likely sell at...

    "will Ultracapacitors Save Start-stop Systems From Consumer Wrath?"

    I have no personal experience with them. Wish I knew more. I am not an electical engineer. I'd like to see one "battery" spin a cold N14 Cummins to life. I can't say it does or doesn't work, all I've heard are secondhand testimonials.

    "will Ultracapacitors Save Start-stop Systems From Consumer Wrath?"

    While not used for start-stop systems, there's one company that I know of making ultracap start systems for heavy trucks. Most big rigs use 3-4 lead acid batteries for starting the big diesels as well as powering more and more electronics, and creature comforts with the engine off. This system...

    Paul Elio Town Hall Meeting - January 17th, 2015 - Elio Motors Invitation Only Event

    I'm curious what happened to the block that was obviously sleeved? Just guessing that it may have had casting flaws that the sleeves attempted to patch? Not being negative, just that this stuff is potentially history being written. Perhaps one day that prototype block will sell for big money at...

    2015 Barrett-jackson Auction

    Probably between 490 and 492? If this idea should pan out, I might be forced to rethink not signing up without driving one. A deal like that may be too good to ignore.

    Threads Being Moved

    One big problem, seen in the last couple days with all the traffic, is that when 2 active threads get merged, the posts are arranged by time posted. This makes the thread impossible to read, as replies are jumbled together in seemingly random fashion. A total cluster----. It does exactly the...

    1/15/2014 - Ksla - Elio Motors Announces Delay, Production Expected To Start In 2016

    Die non believer! There is only one true Rocket Silver! I'm going somewhere warm and sunny for a few days. Maybe Speedweeks in Daytona. There has been a distinct lack of scantily clad ladies up here to objectify or worship the last couple of months.

    2015 Barrett-jackson Auction

    Dang, I misread this. I thought it said there would be an announcement Saturday. Guess it was the motor announcement. I was hoping for good news/bad news/more good news. Looking forward to watching Saturday's auction with friends and playing our version of the price is right. Furthest off...

    January 15, 2015 Delay And Delay Repercussions Discussion - All Others Will Be Combined!

    I wish I could. I keep going back to the oft repeated assertions that they had sufficient financing even without ATVM, and were not seeking additional investors. Why not, if they're that short?

    Hp Wars And 200 Mph Super Cars... What Do Elio Owners Think?

    Yes. The technology from race cars (and supercars, in this case) filters down to common models making them safer, more reliable, and more efficient. Case in point: My 88 Silverado has 165 hp, or did 200,000 miles ago anyway, and gets 11mpg. My 05 has 300hp and gets 17. I do sense an agenda...

    Pet Peeves

    Broken multi quote function on Tapatalk. RE chicks with tramp stamps, I'll take the unadvertised specials, thanks. Cars that won't go on green: When horn fails, use bumper. Roundabouts: Waste of real estate, property that some tax paying private citizen used to own. That is all.

    How Many Cars Have You Owned?

    I drove a lot of junk back in the day, trade ins to the scrap yard plus a few dollars more was my car budget. Finally got tired of it and started buying better stuff. Plus, there's always at least 1 car and 1 truck in my yard. Right now, 3 trucks plus the commuter car. Why? 1 nice truck, 1 to...
