So WELCOME, Skrizman. Glad to have you on board. GREAT video!The wait was 1 hour, but was made bearable by the enthusiasm around me. A guy drove from Colorado Springs to Broomfield (about a 2-hour trip) and kept saying, "this is only going to make me go crazy waiting for delivery." He went all-in a year ago and has visualized many Elio trips great and small -- all of them fun.
Another guy, a mechanical engineer and car enthusiast, learned about the Elio through Jalopnik. He had detailed questions and seemed to get ever more interested as we filled him in on the details we've read here. He asked questions about the frame and I showed him the pix posted on this forum of the P1 (just a skeleton before green skin made it P2).
My wife was and still is leery of the Elio -- she felt cramped in the back seat. I'm not sure it matters. The Elio likely will be our third car, with just me in it 98 pct of the time. The teenager acted like she wasn't impressed, which might mean she is. Or not.
All ages were in the line, though it skewed to Baby Boomer males.
