Given my recent interest in wearable computing and devices that enhance the use of computers, I was intrigued by this motorcylcle/car, the Elio, which serves as a local enhancement to your big gas guzzler. The biggest selling feature for me was air conditioning, which is an essential in Florida summers. I put a deposit down, and the sub $7.000 price is certainly attractive. At 80 miles per gallon of gas, you can imagine the savings. In fact, one of the coolest things about this car is that you can pay for it by agreeing to pay three times the amount of each gas purchase, with two thirds going to the car's price. So, if you pay $60 to fill the tank, you are charged $180, and $120 goes to the purchase price. Given that you will be able to drive three to four times the same distance with each fill up, you are essentially getting the car free. Awesome. I expect to take delivery next year, and I will report back. Of course, now that I have reserved one, it will probably take two years. Oh, well.

I haven't reserved one, but I want one! The a\c is major positive.
