Simply nope. Eight years ago I plopped money down for a gas efficient car that would take me and a few personal items up to my cabin in the woods for the last years before I bought the big one. This would have saved me money for all the small projects I have going around here. Those projects...

What good would electric do me with it's 200 mile range when my place that I go to is 250 miles from start one way in the mountains? Am I to push it the last 50 miles or stop along the way for hours to charge? And I paid for this? No! I want the original promise!

They still have my money! Where's my vehicle!!

I haven't given up. I've only been here a few years (4) but I'm in it to win it! I just wished I could use the facilities at Shreveport and get permission to use Paul's plans. I'd take a crew there and build my own darn Elio!

I had hoped I could drive an Elio before I got so old the state takes my license. I loved the concept of the vehicle when I first heard of it and really, for the distances that I rely on a vehicle an all electric just wouldn't do the trick. The Elio? For the purposes of just travelling to my...

Boy-yo-yoyo-yo-yoing!!! I haven't been here in months (been re-building my burnt down cabin in the mountains after the forest fire) and look what I've come back to. Just can't leave you guys alone. Thank goodness!! What else have you got!:victorious: I was hoping when I returned the Elios would...

Hey Good People!!, I'm back after a lo-o-og hiatus and rebuilding my burnt up mountain retreat (reason I need the Elio....and Sharon Stone in the back seat) and I'd like to add that my sense is not common,....it's above average!!

Thanks everyone for your warm support. I'm putting everything back together and now I've got water, electricity and sewer lines hooked up with sleeping room for four adults so I'm getting happy again. Just need more money for a dozer and giant truckload of dirt and gravel, some fencing, and I'll...

Sorry I haven't been here in a while but as you know I got burn't out in the Butte fire in Calaveras county and I've been working to re-establish my claim ever since. It's the reason for the Elio! This little plot of land is 112 miles from my main residence in Castro Valley and the old truck I...

Yes, we who are funding grandkids to college (4 of 'em!) and can't manage to peel off a juicy 1k bill for our dream :party: (green with envy, happy for you!) figure the first few thousand are working the last bugs outs for us later guys.

Howdy Good People, Once again I return from sweeping up that burnt mess that used to be my nice cabin in the California foothills. The Elio is my reason and saving grace to keep the cabin as it's a 250 mile round trip from my primary home. I'm re-building the cabin. I'm all in on the Elio. 'Nuff...

Thanks for the well wishes!! Yeah, I'm using the insurance money to expand the house in Castro Valley and since I still have the 3 and a half acres in the foothills I'll just put a camper on that until it re-greens in 5 or 8 years. I'm retired. I can wait. I'll just drive up in my Elio a check...

Howdy Good People, Sorry I haven't posted in a lo-o-oog time but so many things have been happening as of late. First we got caught in the California (Butte) forest fire that reduced our house to a shoebox full of ash, wiped out most of the trees around us and just fried the habitat. Dealing...

When I first posted to this forum my dream was to finally put down that old gas guzzling truck I had been driving to my cabin in the foothills of the Sierra's and be able to toss my fishing pole a six pack of beer, my six shooter and my lazy dog Polo in my Elio and head to the cabin instead...

We might as well go home, Bubba. There's about 50,000 more happy Elio owners right behind him!!

I would suck the blood out of everyone on the street until I got my Elio.....even if I could only drive at night!!

Happiest picture in the world?!!.....Me! Getting into my brand new Elio! Saddest picture in the world....Me, getting out of it!

Add just a cd player or equivalent and a rear window that perhaps slides up into the roof area of the safety cage and I'm good to go.

You know us Californians. If we can't actually see or touch it right now we won't talk too much about it. We'll play on the beach and drink beer until we can finally get in that baby and go! go!! GO!!!

Yeah, and no football, just a greased pig in a mud field!
