Still shaking my head at the rednecks that ask how it is offroad. Look at the ground clearance! It's by Polaris but it's NOT a RZR!
Weird questions people ask about your slingshot.

Two recent ones were:
"How long did it take you to build that?" answer..."not long"
Had a guy walk over at a rest stop on way home from Maggie from his Prius, only question he had is "what kind of gas mileage do you get?" I said 30, he said he got 48. I said, yeah, these are really similar vehicles, I just got the sportier options. -
I live in a 55 plus community and was asked is that a custom made golf cart?
-
Did you build it yourself ?, does it go on water ? Are quite common ones I get.
@andiparker someone asked me the same question did you build it at your garage and I Said yes i can build one for you tomorrow, for 85 K that guy just left without saying anything lolz..

TP--hate to tell you this BUT, I also own a 2nd Gen Volt.
-
I get the can it go in water thing quite a bit. I just say no its not a boat. The one I get on a pretty regular basis is. Thay s one of those can am spiders right. I say yea it is it has a body kit on it.

Was coming out of one of our local restaurants, and say an older couple eye-balling the "V-SHOT". Walked over to them and struck up some small talk. The gentleman sheepishly asked "I'll bet it's a hoot to drive, ain't it?" I looked him dead in the eye and said "It is the most fun you will ever have, with all your clothes on!" His wife slapped him on the shoulder and said "Now I KNOW we have to get one of these!"

The folks around here knew that me and the wife use to ride the Spyder. When they see us they usually say "I thought you had that Can Am thingy!" We just smile and say "The Can Am got out of the garage one night and slept with our Audi. This is what happened!" It usually elicits a smile or two!

I tell them, nope, this is what chases down and eats spiders.

@Flybuddy a Volt is not a Prius & it's all in good fun. The humor is more in regards to the political leanings & attitude of a lot of the Prius owners themselves (sterotypically speaking, of course - there are always exceptions) more than the vehicle itself.
No offense taken...on the Volt forum there's a lot of fun made of Prius owners also. They buy an ugly car because they buy into the green hype. It lugs around heavy old tech batteries that are barely used and negates any real mileage gain. The Gen 2 Volt is a vastly improved model over the originals, smaller, lighter lithium pack with a 20% range increase. Also a larger gas engine with 20% more power and 10% better fuel economy on lower octane fuel. Plus it's a nice looking, quality vehicle which I enjoy as much as the Sling. I've got 5K miles on it and have only used the gas engine a couple of times.

The Volt is a MUCH better looking vehicle than the Prius. Would like to see them come out with a coupe model...

My new answer to where did you get it - is Walmart.com
It is a kit you have to put together - buy it before the end of the sale and get free deliveryI just wonder how many are still looking?
