hmmmm I wonder how that will affect the mpg. It is extra weight, after all. LOL :-) Z

With the money I save on gas...I can afford to stop, park, and go inside like a big shot!
It will be fun to see if anyone notices the Elio.

Like they said in the movies...you always get f*&^k!d in the drive thru!

I own a Toyota Solara and the other day I did a pseudo test by leaning over to the middle of the car and went to a drive thru window...hmm, it's going to either be a big reach, or it's back to parking (which means a crowd when you return) and going in!
Thoughts?

Yep, good point. At a bank, fast food, other store types... will have to open door and get out to reach said items. I suppose another reason to have the one door located on the left side of the vehicle. :cool:

But yes, agreed with previous comments... can always park, get out and *gasp* walk inside. :D

I think the biggest problem with drive-thru's will be the "servers" FALLING OUT OF THE WINDOW while trying to get a closer look! :eek: :)

Should park and eat anyway, as it is a distraction, and the way cops are nowadays, yes, they are looking for ANY reason to stop you.

I use the drive up ATM once every two weeks. Yes I will have to open the door and sit on the side of the seat to use it.
