The Polaris Slingshot...

[Qmulus]

It looks to be like something someone would buy on a whim, then figure out how useless it is after sitting in the garage unused, except for the occasional rip around the neighborhood with a friend who thinks it is cool. I can kind of see why people would buy a Can Am Spyder, and why someone would want an Ariel Atom, but this.... I don't get it. I guess they might be handy to be hauled around in toterhomes for use by folks that can't ride motorcycles and don't have room for a car.

I will bet that in a few years lots of these will be available cheap with low miles. That is if they sell "lots" of them.

Came here to say this, I would much rather have an Ariel Atom, or a Morgan.

The bodywork is way over designed!...Just waaay too much stuff going on! And were did that awful steering wheel come from?... A lawn tractor?

It would look fantastic in a driveway with a monster truck with the plastic bull-balls and Calvin pissing on something sticker next to the bumper sticker that says "Jesus minus AK47 = communist" (sorry, I went a little overboard there)
On the plus side, I'd love to be hit in it with anything bigger than a dirt bike. (as 78F350 suggested, no "first response" on that one)

It's for the person with everything and who still has a LOT of doe sitting around. I'm too old and too practical for it. I'd spend the money on a trip to this year's Isle Of Man TT - the world's longest race course or put the money towards a new Raby- 4.0 for baby...

I'm totally with. Isle of Man TT is awesome. Nothing like it in the world.

I just watched a special on Toby(?) Dunlop---22 time winner with tons of POV racing! A very special place/ race and man (now deceased).
