    Greetings From Wisconsin

    Welcome from just on the "right" side of the Minnesota border. I'll get them guys an ice fishin Elio pic, but they'll be waiting a while. I'm still stubbornly refusing to reserve one till I can take one for a test ride.

    Fuel Mileage And The "and" Vehicle

    I'm by no means a hyper miler, sometimes I'm even dead opposite when I'm having fun, but I am a cheapskate, and like to make my dollars go as far as they can. So, I thought this might be a good topic to discuss what you do to get the best out of whatever you drive while waiting on that shiny...

    As Posted On Elio Motors Owners Association Page

    Numbers on the dial are just that, numbers. They can read English or Metric, just change the input signal to the drive motor. My 15 year old commuter car does this. Kinda fun running down the road at "100" instead of 60 actually. Besides, it's just a matter of time before some wrench bender...

    Options And Upgrades, Cruise Control, Etc...

    The factory gauges get their inputs from the wiring harness. I'd bet Dakota could make a plug and play dashboard pretty easily. The fact that this info isn't available at the OBDII port doesn't mean the information doesn't exist.

    Elio Calendar

    In that case, may your mailbox be as empty as my beer fridge on a Monday morning!

    The Elio And The Deer

    I've hit probably a dozen deer in 30 years of driving. I agree with one of the first replies, that the narrow cab will help keep Bambi from joining you inside, which can really hurt. One bit of advice, brake but don't swerve to miss a corn munching antlered road rat. More people get seriously...

    Is Anyone Going Base Model?

    It hasn't changed much. Used to shoot trap up there once in a while.

    Top Gear P 45

    No it's not. "Our" version sucks donkey nether regions. The Brit version is one of my favorite shows, but you couldn't make me watch Foust and the other dingdongs at gunpoint. Go ahead and shoot.

    Is Anyone Going Base Model?

    Tony, whereabouts in Polk Co.? I'm SE of Osceola. There's another member on here from Amery. Lots of commuters=high Elio interest I guess.

    Lightening The Load!

    For the more sport minded among us, aluminum wheels and suspension parts would save a little weight where it would go a long way, handling wise.

    Jeff Porter's Football Talk

    Packers took Brady and Co. down a notch yesterday, thanks to a better every week defense. Between that and the Badgers keeping Paul Bunyan's axe out of the hands of a Gopher team that is finally becoming a competitive team to earn their spot in the Big 10 championship game, it was a good...

    The Looks Are Familiar.

    Im just a guy who has grease under his nails almost all the time. Usually "vintage" grease. I got a soft spot for the old Internationals. AMCs, blah. I had to look up the Pontiac motor, I've been around 389s before, but not the 4 cylinder version.

    Michelin Airless Tires For Elio? Tweel?

    I wouldn't be concerned much about snow/ice/mud buildup on a Tweel, the flex would probably self clean better than a standard wheel. Conventional wheels can load up pretty bad if run in deep snow, enough to need attention in the form of heat or scraping. Tweel may well have other limitations...

    Seriously? The Gas Cap Has A Real Unmodifiable Reason To Be On The Wrong Side?

    Not a chance. Some smart alec like me will be along seconds after 1000 just to say "1001"!

    The Looks Are Familiar.

    Close but no ceegar. It was half of an IH 304. Both actually came out in 61.

    Norahsbed Banter Thread.....

    Heck, I think it's good. No accounting for taste I guess. I'll try to find Carl's and give it a shot though.

    Norahsbed Banter Thread.....

    Sorry Z, I ate it all, so no pics. It's a Norwegian potato flatbread. Heck, you could use it for a soft taco if you wanted. Best eaten warm, with butter and sugar, and rolled up. Add a dash of cinnamon if you want a little spice in your life. This is the stuff I get when I can't get my...

    Heated seats were nice in the Silverado this morning. Got heated grips on the snowmobile too. They're pretty much standard on sleds these days.
