If all goes according
to their their plans I'll be going to Shreveport. I reserved mine months ago. If not...I'll be the owner of one of the most expensive t-shirts you've ever heard about.

Are you buying one or getting a job? Good luck with whichever you've chosen.

it sounds like a kickstarter...
it will be fun to tour IF they show more than drawings and concepts..\
Shreveport used to have a GM plant that turned out the little Chevy s-10 , also there was a GM Delco plant there...
I am all for alternate transportation...isnt this like a glorified Can-Am ©? 3 wheels and a MC type engine/xmission? or maybe I am confused..
if you were down in SE LA i would buy you a (root) beer
hope your trips not in our winter season ..
Green Acres is the place to be I dont twitter, facebook, snapchat, instagram,linkedin,tumble,pinterest,flick, blah blah,lets have an old fashioned conversation!

My wife drives a Kia Rio that we bought in 2005 (new). She's had 1 major accident where someone in a large SUV T-boned her in an intersection and 1 minor accident where a large (not MINI) van scraped her front fender and pushed her onto the curb. She's had sevearl "close calls" with other large vehicles including one I witnessed as I followed her where a large truck turning right on red turned into both lanes of a boulovard causing her to have to stop in the intersection because he obviously didn't see her in the intersection.
All that to say that I think she's driving a car that is too small. no one sees her - it's not as bad as people not seeing motorcycles, but almost.
I'm trying to get her to buy a larger vehicle because that's what most people are driving now and they don't see her on the road in her little car.
this Elio you're getting is smaller than her Rio, and barely larger than a motorcycle. If she had been driving an Elio when that SUV hit her, the SUV would have driven right over the top of the Elio and crushed it!
Not judging you at all, Michael - just saying that this is not the future for me or my wife! :)

Size doesn't always matter. I once had a driver cross three lanes to cut me off. I was in a full-sized van at the time. Clueless.

I had that same issue several years ago, my furry friend. I got tired of getting run off the road by semi-trucks and SUVs. I got rid of my Corolla and bought a mini-van instead. It's large enough that most nearly brain dead drivers can perceive it on some level.
I think it's time we just admitted that the vast majority of the public should not be allowed out in public.

If people want to know the size and safety features of the Elio I recommend they go by the information posted at the site...not by what somebody else has to say.
I think we all make our own determinations of what may or may not be safe. Of course we always have "big brother" trying to protect us from ourselves too.

Soooo... Your time machine is a mini-van and not a DeLorean, eh? I guess that improves the odds it won't be stolen...

Jan, you must've really ticked him off? J/K Not that one. I leaned on my horn and had to step on the breaks. I eventually pulled up next to her and honked again. She never looked then either. The whole time she never knew I was there. On the other hand , I drove a couple of Toyota MR2's for a number of years and got cut-off occasionally, but not so much more than I did in the van. The first one got wiped out by a young kid that was drunk and ran a stop sign. It didn't matter if he could see me or not. I drove the second one for 200K miles without an accident.
