“Yeah, that’s, uh... That’s my little weekend toy. It’s just for fun, you know...”
“It’s okay, you know... It gets some looks here and there. It gets around pretty well.”
(This is only what I imagine the owner would say. For what it’s worth, the next door neighbor just recently bought a BR-Z. I think we have a little arms race here in suburbia.)

I like the idea of the Slingshot, but fookin-hell are they ever ugly.

Neither do I, but I bet they are fun as hell though. I’d rather have a Morgan of some sort though.

yeah I would never buy one of these or any other whatzits like these. Its like they wanted to mix a go kart and a motorcycle and came out with like tokka and razar in TMNT2.
They are so hideously ugly. I would buy a caterham.

A Caterham would be fun, but a ‘32 roadster with a 454 BB would be fun as well :P

Where is this? I saw a red one in Grand Rapids, MI a few weeks ago.

It’s “technically” a “motorcycle,” so it doesn’t have to meet the far more stringent emissions and safety requirements that cars do. So, you can get the simple, lightweight, stripped-down “car” at a reasonable price that manufacturers otherwise would never be able to turn a profit on.
It’s 100% because of the way the laws are written. If they could make a 4-wheeler with the same lax requirements, I don’t think these 3-wheeled things would really exist.

I had to wave one off about a month ago, it was about to drive down a street that was flooded. water would have been about half way up the wheels.
He was thankful.
Turning radius was impressive LOL

They are reasonably priced. But I’d rather Caterham, xbow, or atom.

I see one around town on a pretty much daily basis. Looks like a fun toy, but it’s definitely not for me.
