It's getting to the point where I am embarrassed to tell my friends and coworkers about Elio. Some of our brothers and sisters here at Elioowners.com have passed away waiting. At this point I am starting to get pissed. NUF SAID
No problem there for me. I live in a green state, have no desire to visit one of the red states, and I'm over 50 so none of the yeller states are a problem. Also nobody but me will be driving mine.
I'm not worried about a bigger than you attitude. I drive a Yaris now and was t-boned a couple a years ago by a hit and run driver. If someone is going to hit you then they are going to hit you. I think the reactions of most other drivers will be , " Oh wow that's a cool little car!":D
I was Airforce from 1983-1988 and Airforce reseves for about a year in 1989. I was a crew chief on F111E and and F111A at RAF Upperheyford England and Plattsberg AFB in upstate New York, Then I was a crew chief on A10's at Barksdale in Louisianna in the reseves,
THe problem with the T-rex is the $70,000 price tag. For that we could get several Elios. Well I googled it and they now start at 49900. When I first heard of them they were 70000.
It is my intention to have a custom paint job or something but, from the factory I'll probably go with blue. However, I have half a mind to go with a color I would never have in a car like green or orange. That way I'll have more incentive to get the custom job done more quickly.:D
206 miles 412 round trip
3 hours 18 min or 6:36 round trip
$35.96 for my Yaris(40mpg) round trip plus $8.56 for the Elio one way.
total of $ 44.52 at todays prices
Yeah I figured you were joking but you would have to know some of the people I work with. Some would have thought that that was an issue just because it was different.:rolleyes:
