It's now about 2 weeks that I and a select few have had nothing whatsoever to share about our goal! I omit responses to trolls-
If the CIA data can be breached, is there, amongst us someone who could do it to EM? Some seem happy scanning the pictures of the engine with more concentration than an oncologist looking at x-rays!!
My meds ain't holding -I've lowered myself to images and inane responses.

Did you know, why apples float in water ?? 25% of their volume is air,!!

I have a genuine zirconium diamond for you. :D
Yes,
Did you know
Zirconium was first recognized as an element by Martin Heinrich Klaproth in 1789, in Berlin, in a sample of zircon (zirconium silicate) from Sri Lanka. His analysis of the mineral’s composition showed: 25% silica; 0.5% iron oxide; 70% new oxide. He called the new oxide ‘Zirconerde.’

My coffee is down from 16oz to 14oz, as is my breakfast cereal, and practically everything else on the grocer's shelves - but the package size remains the same - the difference is only apparent when you look inside the container. "Contents may have settled after packing" . . . baloney. But the food industry gets it both ways - reduced content AND higher prices. And they thought we'd never notice.

We are consistently getting less for our bucks. To date, the Elio is one hold-out, promising the same product at the same price for years, despite inflation. By the time the first sold vehicles roll off the line, I fully expect them to be a bit more than $6,800 . . . that's just the way things are, you have to expect inflation. You just know somebody's going to scream bloody murder when the selling price passes $7K (I'd rather see that instead of de-contenting the vehicle). Time to man up and recognize the dollar ain't what it used to be in 2008. You can only stretch a budget target so far.

My coffee is down from 16oz to 14oz, as is my breakfast cereal, and a half dozen other things on the grocer's shelves - but the package size remains the same - the difference is only apparent when you look inside the container. "Contents may have settled after packing" . . . baloney. But the food industry gets it both ways - smaller packages AND higher prices. And they thought we'd never notice.

that for sure ain't helping, but if it helps you I'm good
