I feel the same way! I've even contemplated how effective it would be to organize "work groups" to travel to Shreveport and help get this thing going faster. I'd be willing to take a weeks vacation if I though it would help. From a pool of over 30,000 reservation holders we could surely get...
I'm hoping that too. I'm not a great mechanic, but I do enjoy working on my vehicles. It seems to me that the Elio's design lends itself to "do it yourself" repairs/maintenance - especially if parts are readily available (at Pep Boys). I'm eager to see if this forum will become of resource of...
