My wife hates everything "Elio" - she thinks its a death trap. Just goes to show that no one is perfect. So we avoid that topic for now. She'll come around ... eventually ...... maybe. :)

I'm going to do the unpardonable and say it. Yellow. I want Yellow.

I would be interested in this option. Being able to sleep for a few hours in a comfortable position at a rest stop on long trips when you are too tired to continue safely would be very helpful. I would also like it for the camping option you described. I think it would have to be an...

I shot my first elk as a teenager at about 50 yards away. I almost didn't take the shot because I thought he was a horse. Then I noticed his antlers :) Yes they are much larger than a deer. Moose are even larger.

It's rare these days to see someone look at himself objectively when challenged and admit an error and sincerely apologize like this. Well done. :)

We live in different cities but wanted numbers next to each other so we coordinated by phone and clicked the final send order within seconds of each other.

17,483 and 17,484. We are pleased with the recent progress. It hasn't been much of a wait for us, so we are content to have our Eios in what I guess will be about a year from now. This forum has been enjoyable read and anticipate. Thanks for all your wonderful comments and knowledge!

Another, more likely possibility is that the type of people who generally choose to buy red cars in general are younger, and/or more aggressive, and/or less conforming personality types. Having said that, I drive a red car. It was my second to last choice for color (black being last choice)...

I said no to "auto" transmission each time I was asked ($1,500, $1,200, and $1,000) even though I currently drive an automatic for my commuter. The reason I selected was that it was more than I wanted to spend. I'm buying this car because it's inexpensive to purchase and inexpensive to drive...

I have owned a half dozen geo metros over the years. I always removed the belt to the power steering to save on gas mileage and never noticed a difference in ease of steering.

My 2-bedroom house is on a corner lot across the road from nothing but a babbling brook and woods. It has newer double paned vinyl windows, vinyl siding with new steps and rails on both porches. The property is surrounded by a cyclone fence with three gates. Outside the fence, It has off-street...

A good goal, but difficult to achieve at the 65 mph posted speed limit with such a narrow tire free zone. But I'll certainly try!

Interestingly, I currently have a 20 mile stretch of construction on my daily commute to work. The new construction lane is very narrow and straddles the rumble strip. I've been thinking about how miserable this would be with my Elio. As much as we are going to love our new Elios, they will...

The truth of the matter is that it is going to be more difficult to avoid potholes and debris. Going around it is a good option if you have enough time and/or low enough speed, but swerving at high speeds is not a good option in any vehicle. In those cases, I plan to straddle it with my front...

My guess is that the 50% bonus will continue as long as they are still looking for more $ to fund production. So my guess is that it will continue until production actually starts, but you never know. I suspect that when they discontinue funding, it will be advertised on the elio website so...

I received my SIL # with the last batch two weeks ago. My number is 17,484. But I think I read somewhere that it was up to 19,000 - ish

Truth or not, this is probably not the best way to win friends and influence people.

This was good. Near the end of the question and answer segment, Paul Elio said that the E-series cars would be completed in June followed by a 4-6 month period of testing before the start of production.

SIL numbers came today. 17,483 for my brother (runt1) and 17,484 for me (runt2). In case you wonder where the "runt" user name came from, my brother and I bought and overhauled two identical 3cyl geo metros a few years back and used runt1 and runt2 as our license plates. He gets first number...

I've been waiting about 30 minutes! - Just got my PIL # 17,484! (actually I put $100 down 2 months ago and the remaining $ a few days ago).
