I'm not sure what the "custom number" option on the back was.

Maybe your chassis number? Maybe your reservation number? Easy way to start your own Elio softball team?

All I know is that the value was blank, so I picked a number.

Update - the fine people at eliowear !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! on their merch.

You put your car's number out of 250,000 on the shirt. That would be my guess.

I'd put the number of days that has elapsed from the date they initially promised sales-ready production models.

That's funny.

I'm guessing it's that they won't be able to print my "0/250,000" number on the back.

If that's the case, I might tell them I thought they were calling to say the shirt wouldn't me shipped until 2016, and I'm relieved.

They're going to keep your deposit, though.

Probably amazed that someone ordered anything (car, clothing, etc) and were calling to congratulate you in person and makes sure you weren't going to wear it ironically. Busted!

They wanted to let you know there's going to be a delay in the arrival of your shirt. ETA: 3rd quarter of 2016.

Long story short, they saw my comment on the FP regarding the 0/250K, and said they wouldn't do it.

Ha! Did you talk to them, or did they leave a message?

Are you still going to get a shirt?

It was their merchandise supplier. I still might get one without the printing on the back.

Put 6800 maybe, for the price. Or figure out the date that was initially promised and put that as a number.

I suppose it could also be your # on the plaintiff list when the class action law suit comes around when people want their deposits back.

Donations?

They could be to telethon level desperation at this point.

Or maybe Jalopnik is bigger than you think ;)

Sigh...maybe 'jerk' is strong, but I don't like people who can't take a joke. Especially when you're paying them for it

#4 is mine, for now, but some lucky Opponaut may have a generous Secret Senna again this year...
