HA, love that last line. Did not build them fast enough?? They haven't built any. We could argue that zero is a speed, but there are more important things to do. (like prepare for the more likely occurrence of our Detroit Lions winning the Superbowl :D)

Cute, but they are not any closer to actually making these than they were last year. (or even the year before, or the year before, ...) Somebody forgot to turn off the propaganda machine.

This should be in the jokes thread.

Glad somebody got something out of it. All I got was a lousy T shirt. (still in its bag) Maybe I can sell that someday. Even Enron stuff became worth something. Seems both Enron and Elio have become synonymous with "worthless" with a bit of "scam" mixed in.

I don't even remember when I put down my deposit. Since then I've bought a new motorcycle and diesel 4x4 truck, so the Elio is not really needed. My Prius still runs well too, so I have plenty of choices. If it went into production and they said I could pick it up, I would, but I really don't...

I think we're stuck. I've sort of given up hope that these cars will ever get built. :(

As far as I can tell, there is still no production date, but they are still taking deposits? WTF?

The nay-sayers have shot enough holes in it, it should be plenty drafty if it ever gets built.

I've bought 2 used Prius' (or Prii?) for my wife and I. Love them and their ~50mpg average. I've pretty much given up on the Elio. :(

Coss, those are pretty old, (by the number of them referring to a quarter for a phone call) but so am I. In my younger days, I used to fantasize about getting into a woman's pants. :cool: Now I seem to fantasize more about getting into my own. :(

Even though it's a long trek from here, I've made it down there a couple times.

Funny you mention it, the salesman I talked to at the open house let me test ride his personal Speed Triple. I first rode a new Kawasaki Z1000, then a V-Rod, then the XR1200, then his Triumph. My wife called me and I had to run, but I took my SV around the same 10 or so mile test loop, just for...

The local Harley/John Deere dealer had an open house with lots of bikes to test ride. I've always liked the looks of the V-Rod, but when I rode it, I really didn't like the hands and feet forward C-clamp riding position. I did sort of like the XR-1200, Harley's version of a sportbike with the...

Also working on a 1973 Triumph Bonneville T140V. My brother bought it new and kept it all these years, but decided to give up riding and gave it to me. (his oldest son took it for a year or 2 and left it outside in the winter :eek:) Had it completely apart, but slowly getting it back together...

I have a 2004 SV650 and ride it as much as I can. Great little bike after a few modifications. DSC_0027 by Pete Meyer, on Flickr

GM is giving up Opel, maybe Elio would be a good replacement. :cool:

So your experience tells you it's real? Were you riding with them, or just saw them go by? There are a lot of bad drivers out there, and I would guess some like to listen to music at higher levels. I don't think you can turn around and say that anyone who listens to music like that is an unsafe...

Sorry, radio was on and I got distracted. :p

Hmmm, You call We haul Any road Any load If we can't truck it Just say "F*** it!" <Profanity removed>

I've only been to the MotoGP races at Indy a couple times. I've got some friends who race, and they are always urging me to do a track day. It sounds like a lot of fun and a great educational experience, but I would guess I'd find any excuse to spend a weekend at the track from then on. In my...
