    January 15, 2015 Delay And Delay Repercussions Discussion - All Others Will Be Combined!

    If in 1, 1 1/2, 2,... year(s) from now something is built, AND I have not spent my Elio-Fund (BIG IF), then I will go for it. But for all intents and purposes, I am out. Very sad, really, that not enough people(who can fund the project) see its potential. Where are all those who @#%$'ed about...

    Limits ….

    My limit for base price would be about 8k. Thus far, the options have no appeal to me. They had talked about a basic smart phone integration--may go for that(definitely NOT the iPad option). As far as mileage, probably about 70MPG. While at the momment me Elio would be purely for fun, I...

    Replacing Your Totaled Elio

    I had thought about this, and had been my assumption I would have to wait. I started looking at after market safety systems--but they seem to be geared toward avoiding hitting something--not avoid being hit. The infinity sky's option seems to offer the best solition--if one can constantly...

    Three Wheel Vehicle Problems In Texas

    Yes, I live in Houston. I do hope Polaris works something out. IWill not be a happy camper if they reverse themselves on Elio as well.

    Three Wheel Vehicle Problems In Texas

    I found this confusing--and concerning. http://read.feedly.com/html?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.thetruthaboutcars.com%2F2014%2F11%2Fupdate-texas-dmv-elios-trike-status%2F&theme=white&size=medium

    Scenic Drives

    Yes, there are roads that can be taken that follow the trail closely. Naturally, not the same experience (literally), to drive it all. One could still walk the most scenic parts--for me the most flat parts. As I think about it though, would. I dare leave my new Elio--so small that it could...

    Scenic Drives

    Yes US Top Gear. Not sure if it was the most rescent--was catching up on my recordings. They cheat a lot, so been wondering how closesely roads follow to the actual foot paths.

    That is what I thought... Apparently not.

    Scenic Drives

    I was watching Top Gear, and I got a fantastic idea for what to do with my Elio: Run the Appalachian Trail. Anyone game?

    Correspondence From Elio??

    What the duece. I never got that e-mail. I shall have to be Juanito on the spot when production time comes around--and make sure they have my contact information.

    10/16/2014 - Jalopnik.com - Six Things That Could Kill Elio Motors Before It Even Launches

    I keep hearing the Geo as a better alternative to Elio--parts are plentiful, etc. I had a Geo Metro while in college. Parts were not readily available. Things broke--like any old car, and it was not easy finding replacement parts--even at some junk jards. This was outside Detroit. Perhaps...

    What Will Be The Primary Use For Your Elio?

    Was going to be my work commuter, but given my new work-from-home job, it will be my fun-drive car; at least for the immediate future.

    I just finished readi...well stopped to be honest. Confucius said: He who knows, and knows not he knows, is asleep: Awaken him He who knows not, and knows he knows not, is a child: teach him. He who knows not, and knows not he knows not, is fool: avoid him. He who knows, and knows he knows...

    Is Anyone Going Base Model?

    Hey Txconsin, apparently we are neighbors--I am from the north side of Houston. Anyways, I used to drive a manual--in Houston traffic--and miss it nonetheless, so definitely will stick with manual transmission. I have seen interesting paint-job mods, so may do that after. I may choose the P3...

    Anyone Else Think It Wont Happen?

    There ate two distinct concepts that, I believe, should be treated independently: whether it is a scam, and whether it will succeed. Personally, I believe Paul Elio has collected enough in reservations that he would have disappeared already if it were a scam. He has elicited a lot of...

    We Will Have To Behave!

    I have also seen videos of cops pulling over vehicles just because they do not know what they are(e.g. Velomobile? A bike that looks like an enclosed kayak--goes very fast). As it goes, ignorance of the law is not excusable, but the laws ignorance is always excused.
