Elio In Chicago

[Sidecar Bob]

Does anyone know where in the Mall they'll be?

Has anyone heard where the Elio will be at Woodfield? Or, are we going to have to explore the whole mall?

The P4 is in the center display area in the center of the mall.

My guess is David Rasmussen is on the left. After all, how many 7'4" guys are out there? LOL Now the question is, was he able to actually sit in the Elio and use the gas and brake? I know that was his concern from seeing the P3. My fingers are crossed for him and for Elio. That would be a huge plus if these two gentlemen can actually drive an Elio. Z

I can't wait to see that. I guess when you are that tall, you must have to get used to people staring and that goes for both of them. :-) Z

I was @ the mall on Saturday (awesome day, only spent 4-hrs) and it will continue on Sunday. For those of you going on Sunday, the best bet is to enter te Mall @ MACY's and you will locate the Elio immediately in the center walkway. Have as much fun as I did !!!

I'm planning to go to the Mall Saturday morning, a chamber music reading event in Evanston in the afternoon and a house party at night. If only I had my Elio to sip less gas with.

A friend posted this on my facebook wall - glad the Elio has 2 wheels up front.

Funniness aside, I am a $1000 club member. I want to check the vehicle out again as I'm 7'4" tall and want to refresh my memory on what I'll have to do to make it driveable for me. As of last year I couldn't get my knees to clear the dash. I would like to hope one could put a longer seat track on the driver's seat and or maybe do something with the dash, which seemed most of a problem on the right.

Happy Birthday, David. I hope you were able to figure out ways to accomplish what you need to drive the Elio. I was very impressed with your ability to get into and out of the Elio. I am a lot older than you and also more than 2 feet shorter but I don't think it will be that easy for me. LOL Of course that is because of the old joints not the size. :-) Z

I'm happy you enjoy it 'z' but probably not as much as I. It's my wallpaper on my home PC.
I just cannot stand 'not' being on the inside looking out while cruising LSD in Chicago & the entire coast line around Lake Mich . but good things happen to those who wait...
