Fellow Elioans,

Love your truck! Even the safety yellow!

Hey. Norah. . . . . . Watch it now. I'm trying to buy that yellow truck, and I've made him a very good offer.

All yours my man, mine my not be as old or as pretty but it works for me! That pretty truck reminds me of my "56" Ford that was fire engine red with Holstein cows painted on the doors and solid wood bed! Man I loved that ol' truck!

You know, when Ya get my age, except for these "new" Elio's, I tend to gravitate to "old" things.
Why is that? Do Ya think that at a certain age, we just feel more comfortable with "older" things?

Nostalgia, wishing some things would have stayed the same!

Older things are simpler things that's one of the reasons I'm attracted to the Elio, it's basic transportation. Did you see Paul Elio in todays interview in the factory when he said that any new car you can look around and see 2, 3, or even 4 thousand dollars worth of stuff you don't want or need just to get the stuff you do? That is why he's building these with the basics and you can add whatever options you want. The watch words. Simple. Basic.Comfortable. I like.

I don't gravitate to "old" things but I definitely gravitate to things that are comfortable. If it isn't comfortable, I don't want it. :-) Z

Must be why I love the wife so much. She's old and comfortable.

Looks to be a '55. Had one back in Tenn. 40 year ago, just before enlisting USAF. Last I saw it was ~20 year ago here in C. BAMA all dressed up and nowhere to go (was running the yard-sale circuit and ran upon it). My 2nd post.

Haven't been online much lately, so how happy are we lately? I've added my profile pic. I built it. Ford/Chevy power. We need a yellow like it.
Donnaples-#7622 Bye now.

Months ago I recall a reply from Elio, I recall they choose their current colors due to good representation and cost.Also not having 20 colors keeps manufacturing cost down. Certain colors are too costly to make also. I recall Elio saying yellow reflects a lemon and at this time yellow was out. Just to pass across information read, not knocking your yellow Ford. Your yellow Ford pick up looks good.
Welcome Elio friend (enjoy your Elio)

Okay, just can't pass this one up. I was married twice (divorced twice) and loved past wives because they were exciting, intelligent, achievers; One had a masters degree, one had a bachelors degree,One could cook any ethnic dish, one could cook. One could sew, one could not. One graduated cum laude, one graduated manga cum laude.
best wishes to all future Elio owners!
