Elio-vangalism?

[BlioKart]

I tried Jeepaism,

failed to convert to Islamborghini,

had to sell my old Buddhatsun,

gave my all to Sciontology,

and could no longer share in the body and blood of Chrysler.

So now I'm an Eliovangelist.

Tifosism for me

Welcome aboard. If it helps any, here's my little "elevator" speech, 20 words and 20 seconds long (and it's in two pieces, so you can even use just one if time is short). This was posted in the "Why Elio" thread, but it's worth repeating here.


Why Elio (the project)
Save Money
Save Gas
Save the Planet

Why Elio (the car)
2 Passengers, 3 wheels

Well equipped
Fun!

I like it! Short, sweet and accurate. Nothing sells better than the truth.

Welcome.

Enjoy. It's a wild ride.

Sometimes.

I've had several experiences talking it up. My sister and brother in law both commute; she was very interested, but BIL blew it off completely. He's not going to believe till he sees swarms of them on the road, and maybe not even then. Surprisingly enough the truck centered (mostly) redneck bunch that I work with has been quite receptive. When we do crew changes, the guys coming to work drive their whatever from wherever they live to the office at Paducah, and then the crew van takes them to the boat, wherever it is. Reverse it for the folks going home, with personal vehicles staying in a fenced and locked company parking lot while they are on the boat. Most are driving pickups that get lousy mileage, it's only them and their luggage in the vehicle and they can be located anywhere from the Paducah area to as far away as Texas. When I would start explaining mileage, price and safety features like a full roll cage, the almost universal reaction was a very receptive "HM! Tell me more!" I live 420 miles away, one way and would tell them that I could leave home with a full tank, go to Paducah and almost halfway home before stopping for gas, and they'd say, "What's that url again?"
