Here's an idea: Ride your local highway department like a rented mule till they fix em. It's a weird concept I know, but it is their job...

Car wheelwells. Seriously, I'm working on the smoking thing. Just not all the way to non smoker yet.

I think maybe a side pipe on the passenger side with a Supertrapp tuneable muffler. It'd go with the bike feel. Polished stainless of course.

Heck, I even fish when the lake ain't frozen. That's next week up here :D

Whew! After the first two, I thought you were talking about me. I'm innocent on the last 3 counts though. Trailer trash since 92...

My commute is almost all 2 lane. Plenty of spray from oncoming traffic. Kinda hard not to be "too close" on a rural road with these on the side:

Come up north and you'll get it fixed quick. Summer nights mean bugs the size of small helicopters committing hari kari all over the windshield, and the rest of the year is spray from road salt, sand, etc. I average probably a gallon a month. For the record, I'm good with using the container...

533rd Trans Co, Ft Benning GA 1989-1992, with 8 months over in Saudi for Desert Shield/Storm. HHC 1-128th Inf, WI National Guard, 92-99. 88M aka dumb trucker.

Yup. Might I suggest the MN State Fair. Last week in August through Labor Day. It'd be great to see an Elio on Machinery Hill.

Nice of you to admit you have no facts to back up your allegations. Thanks for your honesty.

This is the shift lever for newer Deere farm tractors, lower left in the pic. Something similar would be all that's needed to control the AMT. It only takes up a couple square inches on the armrest. Back position is park, center is reverse gears, front is forward gears. Probably should swap P...

http://www.dynamat.com/automotive-and-transportation/automotive-restoration/ Good stuff. It can make the old "tin box" tractor cabs from the 60s- 70s much more bearable, and that's a big task.

88 K1500. 34 gallons, 400 miles is a stretch. I only fill up about 3x a year though. Only use it when I need it these days. My Buick's range is around 400 - 450 on a 17? gallon tank. Either one has more range than I do.

Maybe with a 125cc shifter kart motor behind the seat!

Don't get me wrong, I've never had anything that didn't "need" MORE POWER!

Don't get your hopes up on the mileage. That claim is based on an already turbo'd motor. Plus, like the diesel guys learn, you can turn up power and get more efficient, but most often the right foot plays with that power too much and mileage goes down.

Call me weird, but I'm looking forward to burning some of the savings by driving my 12 MPG truck a bit more. I enjoy driving it, but it mostly sits now unless I need to use it. A Sunday drove in the truck "just because" is something I miss from the cheap gas era.

Welcome! I'm right in that 300 range with ya. Give or take based on price. An Elio will pay for itself in less than 2 years as I figure it.

It's a balancing act. Too much oil capacity means the oil takes longer to reach operating temps, and mileage will suffer. Not enough is worse though. Overheating and loss of lubricating qualities=bye bye motor. Good synthetics work better at the edges of the temp range, that's their main...

They'd have to bring back the 2.5 "Iron Duke" then, since it was half of a Pontiac 301...
