I'm sure EM is workin on a year end report, but I thought I would list the highlights for this years Momentum.

Elio was at Detroit Auto Show.
EM started using some thing called "Digital Buck" software
NO Elgin dash!
Engine components finalized, intake and exhaust manifolds, motor mounts, and timing belt.
Headlights and tail lights finalized, unless???
Continued progress on the legal front.
Mirror mount and dash fine tuned.
NO exhaust bulge!
Wiper finalized.
Tire selection finalized.
Suspension tweaked.
Battery location and size finalized.
We looked at the factory, paint process, and how the marshaling center will work.
Brake system finalized, and hill start assist added to list of standard features.
Interior ergonomics fine tuned.
We learned about small stuff, like the rubber gaskets and wiring.
We learned about building to meet safety standard using high strength steel.
We learned the company has a strong back bone.

I just feel like EM is like a coiled spring wound tight. Just waiting on the trigger to be pulled.
That trigger finger is just waiting on enough cash.
Come on cash!
Yes I am buying lottery tickets.:D

Cool! (I still do too, every so often.)
If Paul ever ends up with a ticket, you can guess how he got it, but as a guess, likely not by who.
I'd speculate, he'll be very public about securing it, but put it into an LLC or something, and there will be hidden owners and confidential stipulations. Just my guess, even if a long shot.

Still more chance of that than myself getting a winning ticket! And heck yes, I'd never reveal myself. Even without Paul or EM involved!

(if I did, every one of the 'leaders' here get their Elio's for free(confidentiality agreement in hand), then YOU get to guess WHO, lol.)

What Venture Capitalist could resist that face and plea for money?

BTW, my Ford Festeva (so labled think it was a Daweu SP??)) was $5200 OTD, ran forever, my kids too enjoyed it. Very popular now converting to recyclable conversion to run on used cooking oil. Don't know the total sales.
