    How Far Is Your Trip?

    The 2000 VW Jetta that's my current daily driver has more than 290,000 miles on it and is suffering from significant suspension droop. Ground clearance is approximately 4" now. I replaced the plastic belly pan with one made of press-formed steel sheet. It does _not_ clear most roadkill. Just...

    Elio Motors Launches Fleet Sales Division

    That makes so much sense that there's probably zero possibility that it will happen. :(

    Pwr Brakes

    I would be very surprised if the brake system on the P4 bears anything more than a very slight resemblance to the system that will be incorporated into the production vehicles.

    Until reservations are stopped at 40K, only $1,000 'All-in' reservation holders are issued numbers. Everyone else will have numbers issued soon after the reservation period closes.

    Nw Chicago Burbs This Weekend

    I believe the rear seat headroom in the P4 is a few inches less than in the P3. Otherwise, very similar as far as I know. I also believe the P5 will have rear seat headroom increased to something similar to the P3.

    Stereo ?s

    Yep, that works for me too.

    Stereo ?s

    The10 Kilohertz squeal in both of my ears. The volume rises and falls over time, but it never stops. I haven't experienced true quiet in almost 30 years.

    Impact Of World Events

    Yeah, me too. Temporary in geological terms.

    Writting Letters Will Get Support, This Is Great.

    You've hit exactly on the reason that I have two reservations.

    The Front Wheels Setup

    :eek: Slow down!! And, buy a good winch. :p

    Legal: Motorcycle License And Helmet Laws

    Nope. I rode motorcycles for a few years before Georgia even had an endorsement requirement. Then, when the endorsement requirement was added, there was only a simple written test required. No big deal at all ~43 years ago.

    P5

    Eureka!!! An epiphany!!! A virtual instrument cluster that can be switched between pseudo analog (needles on dials), digital and SB. :cool: Unfortunately, cost probably won't allow it. :(

    More Promotion, Or More Production?

    And, with a decent razor blade, it comes off without a trace.

    Where Did 84 Mpg Come From?

    Wow you've concisely identified the three things that will make it difficult to get passed by the typical lawmaker. The Fair Tax comes to mind.

    Manual Or Power Steering?

    Ah yes, also known as the 'suicide knob'.

    Manual Or Power Steering?

    A recent change on the Elio web site indicates that PS is standard. Many of us believe it really doesn't need power steering because of its relatively light weight.

    Quick Poll. Yes, Another Poll. This One About Transmissions.

    I really would like to have an AMT, but it appears that it will probably be a single clutch unit. Those are known for less than smooth shifting and jerky operation while creeping in traffic. Creeping traffic is an all to common mode in the Atlanta area. I guess I'll have to teach the wife to...

    Elio Gauge Cluster - Lord Elgin? - Other Options?

    I won't disturb the factory odometer solution. My tablet will perform a function similar to a very large pastie covering the SB.

    Elio Gauge Cluster - Lord Elgin? - Other Options?

    Here's a quick (15 minute) virtual instrument cluster that I created on my tablet using Torque. May be somewhat busy for some folks, but it's really easily reconfigured. And there are multiple screens available with just a swipe. And, there's also a HUD toggle. :cool: [Broken External Image]
