JULY 31st 2014 FOR ME .

David, I am so jealous, I don't know what to do with myself. Congratulations. DON'T BE JEALOUS , THE INSIGHT IS JUST A PLACE HOLDER . THEY DIDN'T SELL A LOT OF THESE CARS BUT THEY CAN BE FOUND . IT TOOK ME ABOUT A MONTH OF SHOPPING TO FIND WHAT I WAS LOOKING FOR . I PASSED BY MOST OF THE...

THE CAR HAS 150k ON IT . I DON'T KNOW HOW OLD THE IMA BATTERY IS BUT IT SEEMS TO BE CHARGING OK . . IT IS FAIRLY EASY TO BYPASS THE IMA BATTERY & REMOVE IT . THE HIGHWAY MILEAGE WILL NOT SUFFER TOO BADLY BUT THE CITY MPGs WILL TANK . THEY CAN ALSO BE REFURBISHED FOR A REASONABLE COST...

I PUT MY MONEY DOWN FOR AN ELIO TO USE FOR A COMMUTER CAR . I WAS LAID OFF AND HAVE WAITED FOR MY NEW ELIO FOR 3 YEARS NOW . I HAVE A NEW JOB WITH A 30 MILE COMMUTE NOW SO ANYTIME NOW PAUL , ANY TIME . IT HAS GOTTEN TO THE POINT WHERE I CAN'T WAIT ANY LONGER SO I WENT OUT AND BOUGHT THE NEXT...

I GOT IN LINE FOR AN ELIO BECAUSE I NEEDED A CAR TO COMMUTE IN . WHILE I WAS WAITING , I WAS LAID OFF FROM MY JOB AND DIDN'T NEED TO COMMUTE ANYWHERE FOR AWHILE . I SOLD MY BMW 318ti . MY WIFE HAD A HEART TRANSPLANT IN NOV, 2015 & MY JOB WAS TO CARE FOR HER FOR THE NEXT TWO YEARS . SHE IS...

HAVING DRIVEN MY FREEWAYS & MESSERSCHMITTS IN ALL SORTS OF CONDITIONS I CAN SAY THAT THE REAR WHEEL DOES NOT LIKE THE HUMP OF SNOW IN THE CENTER OF THE LANE . IT WANTS TO FIND IT'S WAY ONTO ONE SIDE OR THE OTHER WHICH IN TURN TRIES TO STEER THE CAR IN THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION . IT DOES THE...

Thought Dave might find this video useful when building/rebuilding his rare little wonders! THANKS FOR POSTING , DAVE RAAB YOU SEE DRIVING THE ISETTA IN THIS VIDEO IS A FRIEND OF MINE .

PROGRESS IS BEING MADE IN MY RACE AGAINST PAUL . TO RECAP , I STARTED WORK ON THIS CAR ABOUT THE SAME TIME THAT PAUL STARTED WORK ON HIS . ALL THESE YEARS LATER , I AM IN THE HOME STRETCH . SURE HE HAS BUILT A FEW PROTOTYPES BUT HE HAD HELP & 65,000 PEOPLE CHEERING HIM ON . MY CAR HAS...

HOPE YOU SELL IT ! THAT WILL MOVE ME CLOSER TO THE FRONT OF THE LINE SO CLOSE , I CAN ALMOST HEAR THEM BUILDING MY CAR . NO WAIT , THERE IS A FORK IN THE GARBAGE DISPOSAL .

You said she now has a transplant, which I assume would not need a pacemaker. I assume the pacemaker problem is now a thing of the past. THAT IS CORRECT . THEY TOOK OUT THE PACEMAKER WHEN THE NEW HEART WAS INSTALLED . TWO YEARS LATER , IT IS STILL PUMPING AWAY LIKE A CAPTAIN OF INDUSTRY !

Why don't you message Elio about this. I DID JUST THAT A FEW YEARS AGO . I GOT THE COOKIE CUTTER RESPONSE THAT THEY WILL PASS IT ON TO THE RIGHT PEOPLE . MY WIFE HAD A PACEMAKER BEFORE THE HEART TRANSPLANT . HERS WAS THE HOT-ROD MODEL WITH THE BUILT IN DEFIBRILLATOR . THE LEFT TO RIGHT...

AS A SIDE BENEFIT , PEOPLE WITH PACEMAKERS INSTALLED ARE OFTEN UNCOMFORTABLE WITH THE BELT CROSSING OVER THE DEVICE . A PASSENGER SIDE ARRANGEMENT WOULD BE A WELCOME SURPRISE .

HERE IS THE NEW FRAME WE BROUGHT BACK FROM NEW YORK . I ALMOST HAVE IT TORN DOWN FOR SANDBLASTING .

New core to start with David; does it have a drive line? Or will you have to find one? THE NEW ISETTA CAME WITH SOME GREAT PARTS . IT HAS A NEWLY REBUILT ENGINE , TRANSMISSION AND CHAIN CASE ! THE MOTOR IS MISSING THE DYNASTART ASSY AND FAN . BUT I ALREADY HAD ALL THOSE PARTS ON MY SPARES...

Welded in the ship yard in Newport News,Va. for 5 years. Polaris Submarines. Also welded pipe in Philadelphia for 10 yrs. It only numbs your brain (Just look at me) :p HERE IS ONE THAT I DID FOR A FRIEND . IT IS A CHEVY LS3 MOTOR SHOEHORNED INTO A PORSCHE BOXTER . THE WHOLE EXHAUST SYSTEM WAS...

THIS MONTH MARKS TWO YEARS OF UNEMPLOYMENT FOR ME . IN NOVEMBER 2015 MY WIFE HAD A HEART TRANSPLANT AND I HAVE BEEN HER CARETAKER . I AM IN LINE FOR TWO ELIOS . I THOUGHT AT THE TIME THAT IT WOULD BE A GREAT COMMUTER CAR BUT WITH NOTHING TO COMMUTE TO , THE WAIT IS EASY ! WE DID FIND...

THE LATEST JAY LENO's GARAGE HAS A SEGMENT ON THE VANDERHALL 3 WHEELER .THE NEW MODEL COSTS 1/2 WHAT THE OLD ONE DID ! SURE WOULD BE NICE IF HE WERE TO TAKE AN ELIO AROUND THE BLOCK !

What EM have achieved so far are prototypes while you're finishing up on your hand built "one off" labor of love. The ELIO is at a stand still until funding is found while your work is progressing continuously so what can I say, hands down you'll be enjoying yours way before the Shreveport plant...
