What makes the sounds: Clip-Clop-Clip-Clop-BANG-BANG-Clip-Clop-Clip-Clop-? An Amish drive-by shooting.

French Police This happened to an Englishman in France who was totally drunk. The French policeman stops this car and asks the gentleman if he has been drinking. With great difficulty, the Englishman admits that he has been drinking all day, that his daughter got married in the morning to a...

I am attracted to free or low cost. Having said that, I do realize that we get what we pay for. The software that would not work for me was priced at $9.99, and was a demonstration version. I have had good success with Shareware, but I have tried much of it that I did not end up using...

Having been a lifelong auto maintenance and record keeping fanatic, I look forward to starting over with my new Elio. I am reflecting on the many forms of paper records that I have kept, and I have recently been searching for software that will keep records, issue reminders, and calculate...

Could you do this one in the '56 maroon color? This scheme and design are growing on me, as I have long held the idea that the '56's are better looking than the more desired '57's. Thanks!

A 1956 Impala??? I don't think so!

About a year ago, we visited our friend, a retired BMW engineer who lives in Germany. He was driving a small diesel BMW, and after some city driving, I became aware that the car has a stop-start system. To me it was a new thing, and on the surface, a great economy idea. It appeared to work...

As one who has never felt much attraction to power steering, I have read this thread with interest. This comes from one who ordered a full sized GMC pickup without power steering in 1976, is still driving it, and has felt the lack of power assist only several times in all of those years...

I found this at www.bbc.com today. Are they coming close to using the Elio? Cargo bikes, built for the short haul Ken Wysocky Parcel-delivery company UPS is testing its Cargo Cruiser e-bike in a few European cities. (UPS) In Portland, Oregon, entrepreneur Franklin Jones has embraced the...

Asheville is a very convenient distance for us. Let’s not forget the magnificent rhododendron on the Parkway, and in the vicinity of Mount Mitchell in June! Maybe the first Elio to climb Mount Mitchell??

Each time the Elio's visit to Birmingham has changed, I have planned to visit it there. Now that a visit is planned for South Carolina, that is so close as to cheat me out of the train ride to Birmingham! I suggest the South Carolina visit be in Anderson, or more practically, Greenville

Has anyone considered that AMTRAK goes to Birmingham? I believe I'll do that just to have a train ride.

I like the idea of installing a camera system myself, but with constant "ignition" power, rather than power from from backup lights. Does anyone know whether these camera systems can be used continuously? Anyone already tried it?

Has anyone considered that “Elio” seen in a mirror is "oil" plus the Cyrillic equivalent of “E” ? I happened to notice this as I saw our shirt hanging in the bathroom, while I looked in the mirror. Of course, it looks even better on a pretty chick!

You beat me to it, and did one better! I was thinking about suggesting being first for a journey to Craggy Gardens in June to see the spectacular rhododendron.

How about a dash for those of us who are culturally deprived, and lack the electronic gadgets? I can be happy with a simple and traditional dash containing speedometer, fuel gauge, temperature gauge, oil pressure gauge, ammeter, and maybe tachometer. Don’t all of the “extras” violate the...

Out of curiosity, I wonder whether the current 7 Elio colors are metallic?

I suspected that the metallic paint would cause a problem. I have used "Kai's Photo Soap" that allows one to pick out a color, and then to duplicate it in another part of the image. I have not tried it, so I do not know whether it would save the color and allow it to be applied to another...

JNR, The Mustang in the picture is indeed the Ford color, Twilight Turquoise, that I remember. Of course, it is not the same turquoise that the Tri-5 Chevrolets used, neither is it the gem nor pure color known as turquoise. Unfortunately, the color did not quite copy accurately onto the...
