It's a 3 wheeled motorcycle which he claims "It will meet all safety standards" making folks think that it's going to be a safe car but it meets the safety standards for a motorcycle, i.e. the bulk of the combustion process occurs inside the engine.</div><div><br></div><div>If the current generation/Crazy Green people did any research they would find like their Grandfathers before them that he is not going to make it rain.</div><div><br></div><div>Here is an article from 2013.. with numbers..</div><div><br></div><div><a href="http://gas2.org/2013/08/16/financials-show-that-elio-motors-is-really-probably-not-gonna-happen/">http://gas2.org/2013/08/16/financials-show-that-elio-motors-is-really-probably-not-gonna-happen/</a></div><div><br></div><div>Lester</div><div><br></div><div><br><div><div>On Apr 15, 2015, at 2:40 PM, "bmwwxman . via Spridgets" <<a href="mailto:spridgets@autox.team.net">spridgets@autox.team.net</a>> wrote:</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><blockquote type="cite"><div dir="ltr">Anyone know anything about these two cars.....<div><br></div><div><b><a href="http://www.thetruthaboutcars.com/tag/elio-motors/">http://www.thetruthaboutcars.com/tag/elio-motors/</a></b><br clear="all"><div><br></div>-- <br><div class="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr">Cheers!!<br>Jim Johnson<br><a href="http://www.highplainsyouthhockey.org/" target="_blank">High Plains Youth Hockey</a><br><a href="http://www.dodgecitytrailoffame.org/" target="_blank">Dodge City Trail of Fame </a><br><a href="http://www.ejssm.org/" target="_blank">Electronic Journal of Severe Storms Meteorology</a><br><br><font size="2" face="arial"><font size="2" face="arial"><font size="2" face="Arial"><font style="background-color:transparent" size="2" face="Arial"><font size="2" face="Arial"><div><u>"<font size="3"><b>Tact is the ability to tell someone to go to
