They get a bad rap for being too flashy, but they look like fun

I've seen this shit with my own eyes now and I live in a pretty small Ohio city.

This.

You have to get an M designation to drive a Slingshot anyway

Can-am, bitches.

Literally just a car with three wheels.

It has none of the benefits of a proper trike (let alone a motorcycle) and none of the practicality of a proper car.

It's for people who want to be looked at and/or who are too afraid to get a Can-Am Spyder/some sort of motorcycle based trike or a real motorcycle.

>>14751592
nah, just a helmet in some states.

Speaking from experience (PDI tech) they are fun to drive but put together like a quad.

The radio on SL's costs extra, and often gets terrible to no reception.

on a couple of the 2015's i've delt w/ coolant hoses were not seated well on the radiator and leaked when heat cycled

some issue w/ abs not being bleed properly from factory

hood release cables not set up right sometimes prevent opening

parts held on with adhesive tape/glue fall off
reflectors, hood bump stops

headlight relay/harness recall

they are not built to last

that windshield doesn't block your whole face. eventually a rock will blind you without a helmet.

Good luck dodging potholes in that thing.

Think about it.

It's for faggots who want to be a part of that "cool kids biker club" ideal, but their wife won't let them. Same with trikes and Spyders.

The Morgan trike does it better and it doesn't look like a mouse you'd plug onto your alienware computer.

I don't know how much that one costs, but it's obviously too much for a thing made of wood.
