If i were to shell out the clams for the slingshot it would have to be the le edition with the turbo.

Not saying he should have at least came out and spoke to you about it but as far as just going for a joy ride I doubt anyone will let you just take off in them. The rest of it I agree 100% with you.

I would go back into the store and tell him how you feel so he knows what happened with no questions about it. Let him know that a loyal customer is money in his pocket's and word of mouth is better than any TV add!

Slingshots are cool looking but they get no traction. A dual sport would be worthless unless it was 3 wheel drive. A friend had one for a few months but got rid of it. After the cool factor wore off it served no useful purpose.

Back to riding Harleys and carts!

Andy, After a long cool off period for me I called the owner and we spoke for quite a long time over the phone. Seams He and I were both having one of those days, Anyway He said to stop by anytime and he and I would take one out and see if I like it. Funny thing is he said he does not think it is something my wife and I would enjoy after a few long trips. If I do take it out I will make sure I update here and let you guys know how it was. Thanks for listening !

Cool deal!
My boss is enjoying his so far! I saw one the other day at the Myrtle beach Mustang show that had a bolt on roll cage. It looked factory installed and could have a top installed easley over it. Looks like the aftermarket is going to grow on these things!

Old thread, I know, but....

As we age (I mean me) I find that the appeal of the golf cart/LSV has a lot to do with the open air, no doors, free wind flowing thing.

I've ridden two wheels since I was a wee lad in the country side of Wisconsin and up until this last year loved it. When I upgraded my bike from 1500 to 1800 I found out I'm not as strong or stable as I once was. If you're aren't feeling safe driving a bike, the you probably aren't safe.

Anyway, I finally picked up my slingshot a couple weeks ago. In all honesty, I thought winter was over. Who knew? So while I have driven it only about 50 miles so far, I love the thing I love about the golf/lsv...no doors, open air stuff. Then to top it off, if my wife ever gets in the thing with me, we can converse like normal, and heck I can even look at her without tipping over. Granted, she may push my out the no door side, but at least I got a peak at her.

If it snows, I drive the Silverado. If it rains, I drive the Camaro. If it EVER warms up and stops snowing I will drive the Slingshot. The LSV is for putzing around going to McD or DQ for ice cream.
