Dick's Gadget Warehouse & How To Submit Your Video And Win An Autographed MAD Magazine.

For the rest of January Dick's Gadget Warehouse is going to be a bit different.

Each week we're going to show a video of a gadget either I, or Chad, or the two of us recorded during a CES shows in past years. Then we'll do a Google search and see what we can find out about that gadget. Is it finally for sale? Did it ever go on sale? Is the company still around? Before we did our first one of these, we expected this would be quite interesting. Well, we were right. Because you'll be be stunned at what we found after we showed a CES video from 8 years ago. It's all about the Elio, a car expected to sell for $6500! It's from Showstoppers, an auxillary CES show we recorded January 2014. The Giz Wiz show was still on TWiT back then, and you'll see quite a different Chad when you view this week's warehouse segment. You'll also learn an AMAZING backstory about Elio.

 

The company is still around: http://www.eliomotors.com/

 

Spoiler alert. It's 8 years later and they still haven't produced a car, but you can still preorder one, but now there's an electric Elio version!
