Paul, a warm and friendly welcome from New Mexico. Welcome to the forum and its many friendly helpful members. Enjoy both the Elio experience and the journey with us.I love the concept and often considered an enclosed three wheeled car for my commuting and other run around chores. when I found this car a while back I instantly thought that this is IT! watching and waiting for this is exciting. I first viewed this car online and sat in one at a mall in Portland OR. The deal is done , I have a reservation for one. I have chosen the silver one and I want a five speed. I also have my graphics for the car ready. My Elio will be a P40 motif with a the famous shark mouth on each side. Cant wait! I hope Elio Motors will come through again on the International car show in Portland later this month.
