The following is from Jelopnic's review of Elio at the L A Auto Show:

"Mr. Elio showed off his newest Elio Motors P5 prototype today at the LA Auto Show, surrounded by an applauding crowd of freaks, fools, and local amateurs. Here is the halfway not-a-car that they so desperately desire.
I cannot stress enough how packed the crowd was with those cast off by the rest of society, desperately hoping to cling to something, anything, to keep them going. Utilikilts, white people dreadlocks, and bluetooth headsets were the norm. Wide, bright eyes staring at camcorder screens, recording for five-view youtube pages hailing a new savior for their economy, their country, their life."

It is OK to be negative to companies, but referring to people who like a vehicle in such derogatory and degrading terms shows a company void of any ethics. A company that does not care about human beings certainly would not care about abstract ideas such of "truth".

Jalop---- is the original internet tabloid news, on a par with the National Enquirer!

I have read from this organization before, and this article went into some very good detail.
Even the National Enquirer gets it right sometimes...ask a couple of recent presidential candidates who didn't become president! Jalop---- specializes in presenting the negatives... balance not required.

OK, this is from the story. Do you fit into one of these categories?

I sure don't. Calling people names is childish and ruins any credibility he has with me. Pray for Mr J, he's a troubled person.

BTW, I've known many silicon valley types that would fit one or two of the descriptions above and they did some amazing things. If I had their money I'd burn all mine...
