I do NOT show you all pictures just to show off ! I just thought showing some blue sky and sunshine would be a positive effect on all of those in the cold snow climates ! I spent 40 years in Vermont, MOST of the time I absolutely LOVED the cold and snow !
but after three back surgeries, bi-lateral knee replacements, hypertension , depression, and anything else you get from living without sunshine, I said
ENOUGH !!
I had a plan and stuck to it !
At age 60, I was outta there !
this is NOT PURE PARADISE !
we have a serious mosquito transmitted disease issue, this year it is Chikungunya, and it sucks ! THAT is what you get with the tropics !
we pay 52 cents PER KW for electricity !
food is 3X the States !
gas is $5.00
fresh water is collected from your roof into your cistern, and it is very precious !
real estate ? $500,000.00 will get you 300 sq/ft (indoors), but since you live outdoors it is really irrelevant …average house here in USVI is $1.2 MILLION !!
there are NO Walmarts, big food stores, CVS, etc !
NOTHING will please me more than someday be posting pictures of ElioMobiles zooming around the Islands ! (25 MPH speed limits)
with only one gas station on this island (the far WEST End) they will be PERFECT HERE !!!
I got to say this, if I had my choice I would tell them to drop a BMW motorcycle engine in mine and ship asap !! T-REX recently converted to BMW engines, then GIBBS aqua car uses BMW engines ! My S3 has BMW !
just my personal opinion, something that has MILLIONS of miles of testing and reliability, forget this new engine , make a deal with a company already proven …
Happy Sunday !!
my Kids …..
ps ……this DOES bother me ….
after 36,000 reservations and 5 years, WHY IS THERE ONLY ONE OPERATIONAL ELIOMOBILE OUT THERE, JUST ONE !!
sorry it bothers me ….
with less than ONE YEAR till (supposed) production, don't you think they would have a small fleet of test vehicles out there ????
if they cannot afford to spend the money to manufacture a small test fleet, then there is something wrong !
hauling around the Country on a trailer just ONE VEHICLE ????
it really worries me …
so one day (2015) will come, they will push a big red button, and ElioMobiles will start popping out at some insane rate ??
and they will all be PERFECT ??
No testing required ??
QUESTION…what is the total mileage on the test mule RIGHT NOW ?? is it being driven or trailered around the Country ??
so those people who were the first to put down a deposit are going to be the TEST MULES ???
glad I am #36,000
i don't want a test mule
i don't want a lawn ornament
I am rebuilding and selling little Yamaha Motorcycles here to keep busy (and extra $)
Yamaha TW200's 200cc big fat tires GREAT BIKES !! 75 MPG
Yamaha started making them in 1987 and they are STILL IN PRODUCTION !!!
I bought an AUDI in 1990 Quattro 20 valve
still have it ! 24 years old ! 60,000 miles ! RUNS PERFECT !!
