I have always enjoyed people watching. Vegas was interesting for that. Wife and I went for a SEMA show a few years back. We are like a lot of you since we don't gamble, not even a quarter in the slots. I did come close to loosing my wallet to a man and woman pick pocket team, tho.:eek: :mad:
There are plenty of that type of people walking around Vegas

years ago we used to tow our boat from NC to Winona, MN where several members of my wife's family would join us traveling down the Mississippi about 100 miles to Prairie du Chien, WI ..... at the motel where we stayed they would give you coupon to use at a gambling riverboat where you paid $40 for chips and they'd give you $50 .... we'd each get a coupon and make use of free transportation provided by the riverboat .... we'd put $80 worth of chips in her pocketbook .... we play the quarter slots and when the $20 was gone we'd take the free ride back to the motel .... that's about the extent of our gambling .... while there I went to the first Cabala's I'd ever seen where I spent over $400 and didn't see but the first two isles of the store .. o_O

Winona, MN and Prairie du Chien, WI great place to ride I do often. Second sons home is just out side Prairie du Chien, WI.
I will be taking the ELIO to pike Peaks State park someday. All I have ever done at the river boat is ride by.

we really enjoyed it .... traveling a river that far is very different from riding around the lakes near home .... the closest we've come is riding on the Intracoastal Waterway .... one can't help but think back to Tom Sawyer while out on the Mississippi .... I found going through the locks to be very interesting

I was speculating based on the way the system will work for retail customers. We know the process will work very differently for reservation holders as EM has told us that reservation holders will be contacted about two months out from our vehicles production to work out our orders. For reservation holders all vehicles will be built and outfitted with options in Shreveport and then either picked up by us or delivered to us with the exact details on how this will work still to be finalized.
I am not a reservation holder, but I'm thinking how damned exciting that will be when you and the others get that notification.

As is the case we have wandered off track again.
Is the Engine still running
Has it run out of gas yet
Do the numbers reach what was expect
Have you started to refine the MAP yet from the base you used to start it up
Any vibration not with in normal range.
Any leaks
Come on ELIO we want to know, in this case no news is bad news

Did Ford provide that information during the EcoBoost development?
Did Harley provide that information when they went from the "Pan Head" to the "Shovel Head", or from the "Shovel Head" to the "Evolution"?
Elio told us indirectly (the tour poster) the HP number was 55 rather than the planned 50.
Inquiring minds want to know...... even if we have no right to the information.
