how will your life change when you have your ElioMobile ??

when this "need" is fulfilled what will be the NEXT need ??
Interesting question. Like JEBar I too am retired. But I also sold my airplane and most recently my motorcycle, so the Elio will be my hobby car. I hope it will be as much fun to drive as my Miata's were. I'm looking forward to the first car show I go to. I intend to pick mine up in Shreveport and drive it back to Maryland over 3 days, passing through Tail of the Dragon at Deal's Gap in the process - something I always wanted to do on my bike, but never got around to it. The changes I hope will come will be some long distance trips, camping and otherwise. With the mileage and range this thing is supposed to get it's the closest you can come to nearly free transportation.

Sounds a lot like my plans. Except Virginia in two days. What's your reservation Number?

I'll just be saving money on my drive to work, not that it's really much of a drive right now, but with the Elio as an option that will let me expand my search in a few years for a new home. I can look farther away from the city, something with a decent size chunk of land in a quiet place!

Don't wait to long or you end up like me...........to old and beat up to do the maintenance on a chunk of land and end up in a downtown condo with a low to no maintenance lifestyle and lots of free time to travel in my Elio from hot spot to hot spot.

Next need after Elio will be to add my own personal touch and PM, email, and forum post to Every negative nit-wit that doubted the Elio would happen. "In your Face, you Were wrong back of the line!"

Be sure and post your list as there are a few special people that I want to "get in touch" with, too. :) :cool:
Isn't free speech wonderful? ;)
