I'd be tempted to park the vehicle and move to where I could sit an watch .... take pictures and then prosecute the h**l out of them

We were shocked and disappointed when we found the Vespas. There are a few sidewalk cafes in the area and no one saw anything! Had we known, we would have sat outside.

I've seen those and in person. I live in a very rural area and diesel duellies are the truck of choice. The louder the better. EPA and highway patrol are cracking down though.

understood .... we've been to Advance and wouldn't have pictured it as being that type of town

An option I use to keep tailgaters off is a bumper sticker, "Licensed Concealed Carry". AH's come flying up, tailgate for 1/4 mile, read the sticker and mysteriously drift back a few car lengths.

Thanks Craig! Hadn't heard of coal rolling.

I'm sure you haven't heard of Truck egging yet, but you will if this coal rolling gets more popular around here.

:-) No, I've definitely heard of Truck egging.

I've got 2 late model Vespas. One for me and one for my wife. Not long after we bought them we went downtown for dinner and a beer. When we came back to the street we found them both knocked over. "Vespa Tipping" is a 'fun' hobby for some jerks. The Elio will be more difficult to tip over but we also got "keyed" twice. Another "jerky" thing going on is Coal Rolling. I've been coal rolled once while in my Prius.
I wouldn't be surprised if the Elio becomes a target for some people. Especially here in the south.

I think, nose pointing could happen. The rear is lite, two guys could pick it up and 'point' your Elio so you struggle to pull out. Cameras that turn on when the rear is lifted would not stop that, but very helpful to take revenge.
