Elios Mileage Range Vs Storage

[Muzhik]

If you can't do a 3-5 day trip with a bag that fits in the trunk of the Elio, you might be a clothes-horse.

Or you might need to learn to do laundry in your motel bathtub, or maybe a coin-operated laundromat. If it's just you, you pack for 4 days, plus the clothes you're wearing; if you're bringing a plus-one, then you both pack for two days. Every two days (or four days), you do a quick wash-n-rinse in the tub; every 6 or 8 days you splurge on a laundromat. This works even if you're on a business trip, doing person-to-person visits to your clients.

(And if you can't segue interest in your funny-looking fuel-efficient car into interest in your product, MAYBE you need to review your sales technique...)

The ELIO is long enough, and I am hoping the ergonomic engineers are thinking of this too.
With a proper seat configuration, the front seat needs to full recline, it might become a comfortable bed.
Enough said.

It doesn't need to be a full recline to be a "comfortable bed." Ask anyone who's taken "a quick nap before bed" on their Barcalounger.

...Refined from the oils of all-organic, free-range snakes.

You do realize that free-range snakes have MUCH higher rates of death and injury than cage-raised snakes, don't you? It's why I don't buy "free-range" ANYTHING anymore.

Well, I might buy a free-range Elio, but that's where I draw the line.

As for the storage, there is none above the wheel, that's where the wheel goes when you hit a bump. But there do appear to be "indentations" in the body work, probably for strength and support, that might be used for storage in desperation.

THOSE COULD MAKE NICE LITTLE CUBBIES TO STORE THINGS LIKE TOOLS ,
PARTS LIKE BULBS , AN EXTRA FAN BELT AND A SPARE BOTTLE OF MOTOR OIL

Those are MIGHT be the armrests for the rear passenger

I hear diet is the cheapest way to save weight in the car...

Getting ready for my Elio so I've changed my diet and have lost 45 lbs.

I used to be nearly 240 lbs (on a 6'2" frame). Stopped eating sugar and bread for a few months and dropped down into the 190 lbs range. Stuck with a low-sugar, few-carb diet ever since, and eventually plateaued at 170 lbs, were I occasionally drop down into the 165 area.

I got a head start and lost 200+ pounds, and then proceeded to gain 10 back. Now I have 90 to go.

Thanks for the encouragement. It may be the most important thing I do.
