    Closer Look At The E1c

    No power brakes needed for ABS or TC. Both are handled by the ABS pump. Pedal pressure can be made very light on a vehicle this light by adjusting the pedal's fulcrum point as well as the hydraulic ratio between the master cylinder diameter and the brake caliper cylinder diameters.

    Food/recipe/restuarant Thread

    If you find yourself looking for eats down in southern Florida around west palm beach give "leftovers" a try. The Indaroni is a favorite among our family, and eating there had become s spring training tradition.

    Satellite Radio & Lambo Door

    Satellite radio would be nice as an option, no interest in Lambo doors though, they are occasionally a PITA.

    What To Do In Phoenix?

    Depends on where you are staying, but around where I typically end up on business visits(ASU Medical campus) Mariscos Playa Hermosa, and The Arrogant Butcher are good eats where as I usually end my evenings at Seamus McCaffrey's for the scotch selection.

    A Few More Choices On Elio Color Options Would Be Nice.... ?

    Since they are planning on stocking different fenders and such at the distribution centers I can understand why the paint choices are somewhat limited in number. I'm just happy they split from Henry Ford's idea of color "choices".

    84 Mpg At What Speed

    Could depend on the aero. For a long time I had assumed that faster always meant less fuel efficient until a pilot was explaining that due to the plane's aero(leer 31a) that it was more efficient at a moderate cruise than just above stall coming in for a landing.

    There's also a big difference between a Lamborghini and a Ferrari. lol Should be titled something more like adventalio.

    Something New To Worry About

    My grandfather told one of his neighbors in the villages that he just spent $14k on repairs for his mercedes to which she responded neighbor- "you could get a nice golf cart for that!" gramps- "what exactly would I do with that?" neighbor- "you could drive it instead of the car!" gramps- "I...

    Something New To Worry About

    The paint on your elio will match better than most of the souped up golf cart's rolling around the villages. :D (nothing against the villages except that it's the only home I currently own that I can't actually live in.o_O)

    Crash Testing Datsun Vs Elio

    Weight can work for you or against you in a crash, obviously when hitting another heavier vehicle the elio will be at a disadvantage, but hitting an immobile object such as a telephone pole it will often be on the winning end compared to the heavier vehicle. I'd also much rather be in a 5 mph...

    Front Wheel Track

    Oops, no I apparently was remembering the Elio's track incorrectly. :/ All the vehicles I listed I measured, the elio I have to go by what they have released. Either way I remember not thinking it would be an issue after looking at the numbers. The sports cars and exotics on my list have...

    Front Wheel Track

    I know it looks wide on paper but if you compare it to more vehicles it's actually much closer to the middle. When I measured/looked up a bunch of vehicles for the last thread I discovered the nissan leaf is 0.6" wider in front track and it's by no means a large or wide car...

    What Mobile Device(s) Are You Using?

    I currently carry an iPhone(5s), and an Android tablet(Nexus 7), though I also have an iPad from work and at home we have around a dozen different tablets/phones(no more blackberrys though) since I frequently test apps/websites mobile compatibility for work. I love Android in some respects but...

    Security

    Thankfully, to date all of lastpass's security flaws have been in the implementation of extraneous features which I don't use b/c they are inherently more risky(the same is to be said of their mobile device offerings). Keepass also has quite a few plugins that if installed can make it more...

    Security

    Lastpass is no less secure than a Keepass DB stored via dropbox. Properly implemented with 2 factor auth both are only a very small step down from a locally stored Keepass DB. Keepass on a usb key is great IF you have the ability to mount USB drives on all the machines you log in on.(I...

    Security

    ^this I've switched up to very long but very secure passwords and 2 factor auth.(where available) on all my accounts a few years back. Can't recommend a password manager such as Lastpass or the like enough, they make stout security much less cumbersome. Be aware of the quality of your passwords...

    Shreveport Plant Operations And Personnel Questions

    Thankfully, we hopefully won't see much of Mrs. Lynch since this is her last term by my count. She was first elected in 2004. . . "Commissioner Quick Facts Commissioners serve four-year terms and are limited to three (3) consecutive elected terms." :)
