Exclusive? No, INCLUSIVE. I just meant to acknowledge that some of the forum members and viewers might very well NOT be Christian, and that's cool. I'm pretty sure that the god referenced in common American expressions is not Ganesh or Kàmi or even Jah. Or do you mean that by not specifying...

I was just exaggerating a bit, (or a lot), and didn't mean to imply that discenting views are culled by the moderators at all. More as you say, they are just instantly dog-piled by certain members who kind of make up the local opinion militia, always on the 'troll' hunt. Certainly my opinions...

(RUCRAYZE vanishes in a puff of smoke)

I would venture that we are going a bit too far down this rabbit hole. But speaking to much of your comment I can only say that god(God) has been adopted as a word into the secular vocabulary and it means little to those who use it, capitalized or not. It's not going to change at this point...

I GET IT! The phrases "none of our buisness" and "not an investor", and "contract doesn't guarantee....", etc.. etc... Have been used so many times on this site I'm not sure a blind orangutan could possibly miss it. I don't think I need the point reiterated yet again. It's 'clarity' and...

"To laugh is to risk appearing the fool" and to reserve an Elio likewise. But that was ALWAYS a possibility. There are really only two ways this can end. Either the whole thing goes belly-up and you look like an idiot, or it all works and you are a GENIUS! But that never changed from day...

I have found that within the lexicon of American English there are MANY phrases and expressions which contain reference to GOD, but they are not typically used in a manner which suggests that the speaker, or writer, is ACTUALLY calling for action or attention from the Christian deity. So, I...

I for one, am sick of people here saying that noone has any stake in Elio, and it's none of our business what they are doing. "Just shut up and keep smiling 'till they get around to it". And for god's sake, don't anyone question ANYTHTING! This forum is nothing but a discussion of a car that...

Naturally they aren't in a position to do it right now, but I just think it would be a good thing to make a priority for the near future. It's my understanding that they'll have to build at least a small number of vehicles BEFORE any production lines can be set up anyway. How do you set up a...

Ten G's is a bit steep, but a tilt system for the Elio would be AWESOME!

I agree that the public appearances should be preserved as long as there is any option to keep doing them. BUT I think that rolling in with a more finalized version would be more effective. If it were me trying to market a proposed vehicle I would MUCH rather be able to say " we just drove...

OK. I really didn't realize that so many people enjoy being cold and wet. I never really liked it that much, but figured it's the price of the ride. I've been on plenty of trips that had freezing cold temps and torrential downpours, snow, hail, and everything else nature can throw at you...

Also, I'm sure that EVERY motorcyclist who's ever been out riding in inclement weather has thought, "man, it would be awesome to have an enclosed motorcycle."

My point is that it's not that difficult to build a car. It's nothing to do with 'instant gratification' to say that a prototype or two might not be a bad idea. It's NOT rocket science, (hence the rocket reference :-) ). I can build a car in my garage. (Building rockets seemed to violate...

The Aztec was fugly, but the Lincoln I saw the other day (think it was a MKT), stopped me in my tracks. That thing was hideous!

From the 'final' design in 1972 till the first launch in 1982 the space shuttle took 10 years. Was that still in the 'instant gratification' generation? That was done with archaeic computers and it was almost TOTALLY custom designed from main engines to booster rockets to guidance and control...

I think the 'others' are waiting to see where this thing goes before they jump in. It's too big a gamble for a 'big three' company to go into blind and they are perfectly happy stamping out the traditional vehicles which are selling well at a nice profit margin. I doubt they'll wake up...

Sounds like you mighta gone the best route anyway. Personally I wouldn't want anyone in Wallyworld doing ANYTHING with my vehicles. Not that they aren't perfectly OK people, but when someone is working for minimum wage I EXPECT minimum results. As to the work and ethical standard of the...

I dunno Ekh, your info might well be spot on, I'm not an engineer, but I've never heard of that before. Lots of vehicles get engine swaps, including prototypes in the testing phase, and that's a new one. I get the concept of harmonic resonance, but that sounds kinda like voodoo-engineering...

The engine doesn't care if it's in a car, an aircraft, or a submarine. The only thing relevant to the engine is how much load is on the output shaft. So long as it's used in an application with a similar load characteristic it will have similar performance. If it spins a bearing or throws a...
