The Elio Engine

[Rickb]

The way I see it, if you put 250K miles on your Elio, it owes you nothing at that point, and just buy another one (I know we live in a disposable society)

.........and it saved 250,000 miles on your primary vehicle.

There seems to be some confusion as to what the inside of a cylinder should look like for good lubrication results so I thought I would include this link. It's from a Mazda manual but it pretty clearly describes things. This of course is how it's done manually, but should give non mechanic types a pretty good idea.

I am gonna say if you put 250K miles on your Elio then it IS your primary vehicle. That makes your SUV your "& car".

The Elgin Dash/Odometer may be set to self destruct at 100,000 miles.

But then you have a car with no dashboard

From the comments I've read so far, it seems some would consider that an improvement.

Yes. We've all judged and convicted the Lord Elgin dash without ever seeing it in the Elio. Well, I'm coming around to it.

The most interesting feature of the P5 will be to see the final interior finish of the Elio, to include the highly debated Elgin Dash. I came around to liking the retro look of the Elgin Dash some time back. It's different, it's Elio.

I WANT IT! I WANT IT! I WANT IT! I WANT IT!I WANT IT! I WANT IT!

For one thing, no one will EVER even once think of stealing that car.

For another, you're not a REAL man until you've worn one of your daughter's "Hello Kitty" bandaids (or any Disney princess, for that matter) to work ... and not thought twice about what that looks like.

I wonder if Elio might be interested in releasing a "Cotton Candy Pink" in its color scheme. Especially for Dads who want to buy one for their little girls to drive to school, or buy one for their teenaged sons to make sure they NEVER date in high school.
