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...
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...
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...
I found this confusing--and concerning.

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...
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.
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.
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...
I just finished readi...well stopped to be honest.

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...
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...
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.
