I will never know how you convince a car company to let you borrow a car on their dime like that

TACT - the verbal ability to tell someone to go-to-hades in such a way that they look forward to the trip.

Update on the tiny motorcycle mirrors I got off Amazon and hi-jacked into this thread (sorry!):
First off, they were awesome, actually looked and felt well-made, so for the money they would have been a good deal.
Unfortunately, athough they technically fit, in the end I just could not find a placement for them that would have allowed me to open the doors no matter how I turned them. . . .so I sent them back 
The search continues!

Too late. You need to get in before there are established cults.
I'm starting an Elio fan website. Then if they ever get built...

Elio forum: good idea! Do it! (None out there already?) Hope it doesn't turn out like the Aptera forum.

I like the mirrors. I've been wanting to do something similar but I'm going to have to find a way to retrofit some other mirror on my car because the stock ones don't stay folded in.
