Well... the car that I was holding out to be replaced by the elio still runs, but it definitely a junker. I'm driving it to your town... now where is that again?

Paul originally intended to design an economy vehicle. He accidentally designed a vehicle that was also beautiful. Perhaps he does not realize this. He is an engineer.

TO ME ONE OF THE BEST AESTHETIC IMPROVEMENTS OF THE P-4 WAS THE HEADLIGHTS .

I HATED THE LITTLE PODS THAT STUCK OUT ON THE SIDES ON THE P-3 .

I THINK THE AERODYNAMIC FLUSH HEADLIGHTS AND THE ENCLOSED FENDERS WERE BOTH BIG WINNERS .

These mirrors looks larger. Perhaps large mirrors do reduce mpg, but mirrors are about safety and safety must come before mpg.

I've tried enlarging this using both photoshop and genuine fractals -- not readable. Maybe if you attached it as a file, instead of uploading it as an image, the Elio Owners Forum software wouldn't compress it. Save as PDF and upload, maybe?
I would really like to read that text!

I think all the pictures and reports are starting to bring back some of the old excitement. ( Now where is that old Pointer Sister's song.)
