Apparently in 2008 we thought Tesla was shutting their doors. https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/tesla-motors-almost-gone/3988/page1/

I hope we look back on Elio Motors in a few years and say the same thing . . .

Keep in mind that the US auto industry was in the middle of taking a gigantic E36 M3 when that thread was started. Like many of my colleagues, I was laid off from a not-small Tier 1 supplier at about that time.

Mercifully, most of my post history was tragically lost in a system update many years ago. (whew!)

Most of my dorkiness can be attributed to youthful exuberance - I still lurk but post less frequently these days.

I took a LOT of E36 M3 from you guys around 2005 when I said GM was going to go bankrupt.

And I have degraded mightily into a tailspin of idiocy, bad jokes, and misinformation. The crash should be spectacular. Bring popcorn.

Some of the quotes from that thread are hilarious, in hindsight.

"you are not going to sell $110K 4 door electric sedans..."
