    Do I Need A Second Car?

    Cabs don't exist out here in rural America, and I would likely lose money going to work and back 45 miles each way. The nearest rental cars are 30 miles away. I'll keep at least one extra vehicle on hand, thanks. I have 3 registered here, and can make a case for keeping them all, plus an...

    Wheels & Tires

    Studs are not legal in WI or MN, unless you are a mail carrier or emergency vehicle. The only place youll acyually see em anymore is out on the lakes on ice racers. MI allows only rubber studs (which I've never heard of, but are apparently legal in such snow intensive states as FL) State stud...

    10/29/2014 - Tech Talk - Engine Series: Part 3

    From what I've read (mostly on this site), the bigger challenge with a small aluminum engine like this is actually retaining enough heat for efficient operation. There is a lot of surface area compared to bore area than on larger motors.

    Exhaust Sound

    38s? The tractor I pictured is a 14or1568. JD Ds have one exhaust, the RH pipe is the air intake. Seen a few pullers run duals on the putt putts tho. I think there was an Oliver with factory duals, one of the Detroit Diesel powered ones, but I'd have to do some research. Yes, Im a tractor...

    Elio Audio

    Some of you are deep into this stuff. I'm just happy to have a soundtrack for my drive. Took the plow truck in for some work the other day, no radio and less exhaust. That was a long 7 miles! Need a new speaker or two before the snow flies.

    Other Technologies That Will Need To Adapt

    Ah yes, da Red River valley. Been through the area a few times back in my truck driving days. I prefer the lake country of eastern MN/western WI though.

    Other Technologies That Will Need To Adapt

    When I see the first Elio with a front wheel wrapped around a post, I'm gonna wonder how many fenders they've ripped off 4 wheelers. Some people are just too dumb to operate machinery. Can't fix stupid.

    But there may be owls and cats in the Dominican Republic. Guess I just think different.

    Other Technologies That Will Need To Adapt

    Most are NOT separated recaps, but tires, either original or capped that have had a casing separation. If you see steel belts sticking out of the gator, its not a cap issue.

    List Of New Parts Versus Existing Parts Thread

    In the end, it won't matter to most which parts are off-the-shelf or Elio specific. When something breaks, they'll go to the parts store and order a hoojamadingle for a '16 Elio. The parts guy (or owner, if they're mechanical AND have access to an Elio IPL {Illustrated Parts List}) will grab the...
