Getting My First Glimpse Tomorrow

[Joshua Caldwell]

I'll be driving to Broomfield, CO, tomorrow (almost a gallon in an Elio) to check it out.

Welcome

After observing several women get in the Elio, my wife concluded the autocycle was designed by men and targeted to men - "every woman who gets in is immediately looking for somewhere to stash her purse - and there isn't anywhere! Can't put it in the back seat if you have a passenger, can't put it in the trunk if you bought groceries"

Funny, I didn't have that problem...

My wife likes to stash things under her legs next to the seat she is sitting on. Since she is short she gets a bit more room there because she lifts the seat as high as possible. I haven't seen the Elio yet but I suspect a smaller purse would fit there just fine.

Another nice thing about not having a passenger seat or arm rest to stash stuff is that it will force the driver to have to pay attention to driving instead of rummaging through stuff at lights, or gasp, while driving hazardously down the road.

Small purse? Are you telling me they make small purses? I've never seen small purses. Just kidding. Sort of. I walk with a cane so all my purses (2 in case you are envisioning 30 purses in my closet) have to be the kind that can be "worn" like a back pack or side pack. LOL Z

I can't help but wonder if our wives are related .... when we traveled in small vehicles like a Chevy Sprint, Chevette, or LUV truck, she always had stuff piled around her feet .... now that we travel in the Freightliner Sportchassis shown, nothing has changed in that area

Welcome to the forum. We'll have a good time here while we wait for the Elio.

My wife and I were there right at 10am this morning, and I have to say it was everything I was expecting - so much so that we've upgraded our $100 All-In to $1K. The wait for "the number" begins <lol>

There were a dozen, or so, people gathered around the P4 when we arrived, an hour later there must have been close to 40-50 with a dozen in line just to sit in it. It was really attracting attention.

Met some nice folks, several with the All-In t-shirts, and Pam, Jerome, Kevin, and others. Seeing the prototype in person somehow made it just that much more "real".
