Videos are off the GoPro and are working on rendering. Due to audio issues - first and foremost being that I don’t have a mic for the GoPro - the two videos that will be in the article will have to be subtitled. It’s a classic car show, there’s loud cars and lots of people.

I’ll be the first to admit that I probably look goofy on camera too - the mild sunburn didn’t help things.

Between work and fixing exhaust on my Bonneville, I will try to have the article up between Tuesday and Thursday. Until then, some sneak peeks at the video:

Driving the Elio.

Interview with Jerome Vassillo.

I hope one of the questions was about the car’s proposed 5 Star Safety rating. That’s a rating the smart can’t even reach and it’s twice the car...

Can you fit BOTH elbows out each window while you drive and still reach the wheel to steer?

You don't look that goofy, only a little bit goofy anyway.

The P4 is using the Geo-sourced engine and 3-speed automatic. The P5 will be using the Elio motor and should be connected to the Aisin-sourced 5 speed automated manual.

I did ask about crash safety, but not in that way.

Only if I had the seat far enough forward to be uncomfortable.
