The Elio

This pretty cool. I think I want one eventually. 84/49 mpg would be nice.

i am currently working on getting the contract to haul these little cars. i think they are taking over the old GM Hummer plant in Shreveport Louisiana to manufacture them. they figured in the design, the ability to load and ship them on normal dry vans (most common trailer in the trucking industry) i heard the only thing holding up pre production is waiting on the four-five star safety/crash rating that they are very confident that they are going to get. i sure would like to own one. i try to avoid highways as it is, so it would be great to use to drive around to chase parts for the spider.
