Standard Equipment And Options

I have a place that does mine; and have already worked a deal that they will tint it for free, and I loan it to them for local shows.
No I'm not giving them the keys, I take it to the show, and they get it from there; then I have to pick it up after the show.
I get free tint (and some other goods), they get a unique car for the shows, and I'll get into all the shows for free; one hell of a deal!.

I'm going to have to check into whether I can work out a deal with Waffle House to wrap my Elio in their advertising in exchange for paying the note and providing me breakfast daily. I'm going there anyway.

That would be going there, then leaving it for a couple of days. Unlike a show, it's out in the open where people can "help them selves" to it. Crawl all over it, steal anything they can, and so on; there a big difference between leaving it at a show in a controlled position vs. leaving it at a pancake house.
I wouldn't do it.

Yeah. I'd have a problem leaving it unattended. I'm looking to be a traveling billboard, not a movable stationary billboard.

I've already arraigned for a private parking space at the local Sinclair gas station for exhibition, & flyers. Sometimes on the weekends there are in excess of 100 MC's there, including 3 wheelers and Spyders. ....... when the weather gets good..
4 miles from my residence.

Weren't you wondering about wraps? Have them spring for a wrap with their logo, and trade cruising around with it for a year (or 2) for your meals.

That's my plan if I can talk them into it.

I just saw the new model Prius and the black stick exterior antenna has been replaced with a more aerodynamic and lower profile antenna. Looking back at post about a year old, I noticed the antenna was expected to be "IN" the roof. Is there any information on this? I tried the search function and only got miscellaneous references like racoon tails being attached to the antenna or Ham radio antennas.

It was supposed to be in the roof when it was SMC body panels.
Now that it is steel uni body that may be a completely different issue.

Excellent point. If an exterior antenna is needed, I like the low profile one on the new Prius. It's a stock item for Toyota now so the aftermarket replacement suppliers should be gearing up production so Elio can get for that off the shelf discount Elio loves.
