Personally, I think If EM had a sufficient downpayment to commence work IAV would carry a client through the process accepting payments along the way. EM sold Caddo Parrish to put up $7.5 Million on their potential success and they could have sold IAV as well. Particularly, with 40,000 + pre-orders and Caddo Parrish backing. I doubt EM had funding to pay in full.

It would seem then, that the possibility of Elio being a "Scam" is either a bad joke or another episode of America's Dumbest Criminals. :D

I feel the same way about weekends when I can't be following every single thread. I hate missing stuff. Actually, if you guys would just tag me in every post that you think I may find interesting or funny, I'd sure appreciate it. (I'm KIDDING! Don't do this!)
My wife has threatened to make my phone - how I access elioowners.com on the weekends - a permanent part of my anatomy if I don't put it down every once in a while.
So long as you're not posting on the Elio site... during sex, WHAT'S the BIG DEAL???

Just a couple of thoughts on where Elio is right now.

GM Plant Purchase Proposal
Appraisal value of GM plant $4.5 million
Demolition cost of GM plant $8.5 million
..... excludes hazardous waste disposal
(from public records)
http://www.caddo.org/index.aspx?NID=426

Money spent by Elio
Approximately $60 million (per G1)
Includes 3 - 4 prototype vehicles
includes PR and touring
includes legal work with state governments
includes first prototype engine (to date)
includes planning work
(from web sites)

Someone needs to explain where money has been wasted or not spent appropriately.
