There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.
Is it really that small...!!

Since the ELIO has three wheels, it isn't subject to automotive safety regs. It will be registered as either a motorcycle, auto-cycle (like here in Texas) or a trike but NOT as a car. You will actually have to wear a helmet to drive one in some areas I think.

It does exist I was in one at the Barrett Jackson auction in Scottsdale AZ. I was in the front (tandem seating) and Camille was in the back. I thought it to be quite nice and would buy one over a slingshot any day.

That's exactly what I was thinking, Jack! We rode the Governor's Ride last week and had a few Slingshots in front of us. I was not impressed. Very long drive belt system (worse than ours), no protection from rocks (that will be an issue) The swing arm is only one sided (this will cause extreme stress on one bearing and will be a future issue). They are too low to the ground (poor visibility). Of course I really didn't look it over well or I could have found more. Oh, yeah, very minimal storage. The RT probably has more.
I would probably by an Elio except I have a Geo Tracker with a Suzuki engine and a manual trans. It should last a good long time. I plan on eventually servicing the Elio's if they hit well enough. I made my Spyder lift adaptors to easily lift a 3 wheeler like that.

I would say not necessarily. Goldwings have had one sided swing arms since 2001.

That is true, but you are talking quite a bit more weight than a GW. You may be right, time will tell!

Elio will just keep bilking peeps for doe payments and never deliver. That's their barely legal scam. They've said for years now that it will be in production 'next year'. I feel sorry for anyone that plunked money down on one of these. Many out here could build one of these themselves before Elio will ever deliver one.
