I saw one of these on the road.
 
Pretty darn cool summer fun. Not legal in Texas of all places. Gets more looks than an Elise for the money.

The one I saw had plates and the driver was going no-helmet to pick up a Pizza and can of paint or whatever. Lol.

Love the slingshot...$25,000 seems like a steal...wish they were legal in CT...:dance:

Why are these not legal in some states? Motorcycles are legal and these are no more danagerous.

I'll take the McLaren. I just don't think I can get it up the driveway without scrapping.

active suspension will be an option. But are you really sure you want a McLaren? :D

Yeah, driveway scraping is the only thing holding me back from a McLaren too ;)

Seen a few running around here. Looks like compition for Bombardiers Skid-doo on wheels or the T-Rex. Two or four wheels. Three's just stupid. All the inconvenience of a motorcycle but don't have the power to wieght ratio, the ability to lean, get through traffic, or park just about anywhere.
:barf:

It's an intriguing idea, but (just my opinion) it's hideous. Target audience must be video gamers.

BIGJake111 06-22-2015 02:57 PM

How about the new 3 wheel Elios motors.

Agreed. There are several around here. They look like something out of a Batman movie...and not in a good way. :)

I have one on order.Been riding motorcycles since 1966 and now have bad feet due to my diabetes so I can no longer ride one.The Slingshot was the perfect replacement.Might have to sell the Boxster as the clutch is getting harder and harder to depress.

Congrats on getting a slingshot!:cheers: I was gonna get one but they are not legal in Ct yet...I did pick up a sweet full size ranger when I was at the polaris dealership.:cool:

Love that Slingshot! Styling is a little strange, but the view from the cockpit is amazing!

Dang things are huge!

There is a local teenager with a slingshot and a cts v (dad owns a chain of bro truck mod shops.)

It's a pretty cool car I don't care much for the styling though.

The Morgan 3 wheeler is much more my style!

Top_Ramen 06-24-2015 09:49 AM

I'd much rather have this! Yami R1m my current obsession
