    Mobile App?

    Hope the Tapatalk issue gets resolved soon. What passes for a browser on my phone sucks to browse forums on. FWIW, this is the only forum I'm having Tapatalk issues with.

    Non Elio Days

    A life without snowmobiling or ice fishing is an incomplete life. I'm not saying I wouldn't enjoy sitting on your patio with ya right now, though. 24° and taking a break from doing some work on the plow truck that should have been done a month ago...

    Non Elio Days

    The ones I've seen are around $4000 a set (ATV sized), and 100+ lbs each. I don't think they'd be practical, but oh what an ice fishing rig! I think the only reason people worry about the front suspension is that it's out in the open for everyone to see. Lots of cars on the road with similar...

    Jeff Porter's Football Talk

    Picture from USA Today. Story and bigger version here: http://ftw.usatoday.com/2014/11/green-bay-packers-military-tribute-veterans-day-thank-you-pictures I have it as my screensaver now.

    Jeff Porter's Football Talk

    From someone who was there, it was awesome. Hard to hold the card up and get a pic, so I don't have one from my seat. Note that the pics above in Lock's post are from '11. This is one of those things that keep recirculating around the interwebz. I had a blast, could have saved $60 or so on...

    Non Elio Days

    Like I said... What I can't predict is whether the plows have cleared that mound of snow between the two 4 wheeler tire tracks, or how an Elio will respond to them.

    Non Elio Days

    As we're getting our first taste of winter up here, I thought I'd start this thread. I'm gonna use it to keep track of how many days a winter I'd want to leave the Elio home and take the truck. Feel free to play along, wherever you are, and for what ever reason you wouldn't/couldn't take the...

    Compare The Elio To 1980's Answer To Fuel Mileage

    We call em "beaters" around here. Cheap cars that get you by, but aren't much to look at, or generally exciting in any way. My Buick fits that category.

    Send Email To Dop To Show Support For Elio Motors Loan.

    I suspect most that are not all in are like me, not in at all for whatever reason. My reason is simple. I'm not buying (or lining up to buy) a car I haven't seen and driven yet. There's a million reasons not to be in, only one to be-the Elio itself. Refundable just doesn't make sense to me...

    On Horse Power

    I'm fluent in many dialects of English, from Georgia hillbilly to Canadian hoser, but Brit English is not my strong suit. Im learning a little through Top Gear (the good one, not our version) and your posts, though. :D

    I Shall Call It "total Enviormental Impact!"

    You neglect to mention how we're supposed to compress that air. Regardless of power source, compressors are not very efficient. The 150 hp electric compressor in the factory I work in provides a good part of the winter heat from the huge heat exchangers it needs to run. 8 months out of the...

    It's worldwide. In wheaters' area, I beleive it goes something like "I say, old chap, hold my pint and observe" :D

    Because it doesn't get to -30° down there. That's when bad stuff usually happens up here.

    How To Build A 100 Mpg Car

    A naturally aspirated 6L diesel is pumping (ignoring volumetric efficiency losses, for simple math purposes) 4500 l/min of air, turbo motors more yet. Does anyone really believe that changing the makeup of 4 ONE HUNDREDTHS OF ONE PERCENT (.0004) of that volume will make a real, measureable...

    10/31/14 E M Blog - Elio & Green Fleet

    It's 11/2 now, and I bet booth setup has to be done early for a huge show like SEMA. Imagine the chaos if everyone exhibiting there tried to move in Monday.

    Other Technologies That Will Need To Adapt

    Naw, I'm a lefty, and as such, am in my "right" mind. I've also been getting outta the left door and shifting with my right hand for 30 years now.
