    Why Power Windows And A Single Power Door Lock?

    I also think that most people expect these items now. The last time I looked to buy a new car the sales people were amazed I wanted crank windows and manual locks.

    Stick To The Basics

    The only things I want is cruise control and pop out rear windows for the dogs. I am not planning on anything else as of now, but that can always change when I see what is actually offered once the car is built.

    San Pedro Show And Like

    The only problem is that it is almost a 900 mile round trip and I do not have the time to drive that far.

    Manual Or Power Steering?

    Thanks for the kind words, here is a picture of my "lucky" pets. Millie the puggle(black dog), Mo half Boston terrier and my tortoises Fred and Ethel. The dogs will fit in my Elio the tortoises will not. By the time I get my ride the turtles will most likely be around 80 or 90lbs.

    Comments From A Mechanical Engineer

    I used to have a Ural and it was very interesting during hard turns. It would consistently end up on 2 wheels instead of 3. One of my friends who tried it in an open field said "it was the worst driving motorcycle he had ever driven" and could not believe that I was able to drive it as hard as I...

    San Pedro Show And Like

    At least you got to see one in person the closet event to me is in Dallas, I live in SW Missouri. Even if I wanted to go to that event they will be showing the older P3. I guess pictures and other peoples descriptions will have to do.

    Wheel Fenders, Fairings, Skirts, Covers

    To me it looks like a Kammtail or Kammback . Which acts just like a airfoil without the need of a true trailing edge. Cycling is using this becuase it's governing body has a rule that a 3:1 length to width ratio of all tubes on the bicycle. So, they have been using this chopped off airfoil...

    Need Some Help

    I have trouble with some of the other verification methods due to being color blind. This method seems far more reasonable, even for this color challenged person. I say go for it and thank you for asking what others think.

    Elio > Any Electric

    Here is an article from the Wall Street journal about how electric cars are not the answer at this time: http://online.wsj.com/news/articles/SB10001424127887324128504578346913994914472

    How Did You Learn About Elio?

    I got interested in the failed Aptera car company and googled around to find something like it. Elio seemed more realistic, that was early 2013. I waited over a year and a half later to put any money down though.

    Factory Pickup, Retail Store Pickup, Or Delivery

    I would like to pick mine up at the factory too, it is less than a tank of gas away at around 450 miles. It would be worth the $240 plane ticket.

    Manual Or Power Steering?

    My 89 jeep wrangler did not have power steering either and I had no problems. It did come with a heater but no radio. The only person who complained about it having no PS was my 5ft tall sister who I tried to teach how to drive a stick. She could not turn it when stopped she could not shift it...

    Military Service

    I retired from the Coast Guard in 2003 after 20 years as an Electronic technician. I spent much of that time workimg in the LORAN field. LORAN was a land based navigation and timing system that was done way with once GPS became popular. I really like working on the large transmitters outputting...
