Unintended Benefits Of Elio Ownership...

[Joshua Caldwell]

When I took my test at 16 we didn't use our own cars, the testing facility had 4 that were used for that purpose. The turning radius of the Ford Escort made parallel parking a breeze... and in the following 16 years I have only had to parallel park 3 times.

My Saturday night drive from school to Chipotle to Hockey will only be 2 dollars round trip
.68 round trip from my house to dunkin donuts
$33 to go see the family in Connecticut

Yeah, but trying to fit hockey gear is going to be tough. I am going to try when I get mine. lol

Being able to use those funny triangular parking spaces that only bikes use... and are usually close to the store.

Being able to use parking spots partially taken up by streetlight/parking lot light.

With the back being plastic, you can easily drill mounting holes for a review camera anywhere you like.

In many places motorcycles don't pay tolls.

In many places motorcycles don't pay tolls.

Watch out in West Virginia. Two axels on a car or cycle is $2.00, pull a trailer and have three axels it will be $2.50. For each toll booth - there are three of them on I-77 N/S. My uncle about blew a gasket on that one when he came through on his Goldwing with trailer.

Fred Rau, co-founder of MCN magazine, was pulling a trailer on a Gold Wing, entered a toll plaza on the East Coast where car tolls was $5.50.
He was considered a 3-axle vehicle and had to pay $35.50. He complained to the turnpike authority and was refunded $24. Its' a tough world out there.

Paying tolls (with an ezpass system) will require getting out of the car! Fast food drive in would be another 'get out and get it' area. At least on a bike you can move over up against the toll gate, not going to get to close in an Elio with tearing a front wheel off...

... Not having to wonder even for the briefest of moments if that IS in fact your car.
