Have I told you how lucky I was a week ago? I got to spend 12+ hours taking photos and shooting the breeze with some of the finest Slingshot owners in the country!
I don't do video but here are a couple I tried to take

Now for some bragging - @Painter and @SlingRider and @Slingrazor invited me down to spend the day at the shop with them. Boy was I excited - an entire day of taking photos of the hottest Slingshots .... dreams do come true
Me coming was supposed to be a surprise but the joke was on me.
A great group of locals filled the shop on a rainy morning just to get the chance to see each other, spend a little time shooting the crap, and checking out the latest Painter masterpiece
But the joke was on me because someone surprise me with a custom piece for the Bader Badger - the depth and breadth of Painters heart is only surpassed by is humility. Needless to say this mans gifts brought tears of joy and gratitude to my eyes
More than 12 hours of taking photos - I was king for a day! And those guys treated me like a king - feeding me and letting me move their rides and try silly stuff with my camera
Wicked cool engines
Check out that custom dash
These wheels just blow my mind every time I see them
@Bu11sh1t might get mad at me for posting this but I'll take my chances. I don't know if you have had the pleasure of meeting Harvey but he is one of kind - must be something in the water in Indiana because these guys have huge hearts
@Bu11sh1t is the type of guy that would give @Goats_Hogs [or anyone] the shirt off his back
Or @Painter the perfect little thing for the glove box for his retirement travels
@Ross , @SlingRider will tell you about me wanting to do something for you after all the work you have done for the Forum..... not just the Calendar, long before I knew you were coming.
It’s Members like you who make this place so great and the pleasure was all mine! You are a true Master at what you do and WE are the lucky ones to have such a gem among us!
A break in the weather meant an opportunity to lay some rubber .... or get gas if you're almost out
@SlingRider hopped in his daily driver - thanks goodness we reminded him to get in his Slingshot
@EjFord was kind enough to grab the camera so I could get in a group shot with [from left to right] @SlingByron @Goats_Hogs @Bu11sh1t Me @Slingrazor and @bjk81
Then off we go .... gotta get some gas and hear some supercharges sing
Great pictures Ross! This should've been it's own thread... Or Painter's SS art gallery! I'm ready to go back if Jim will have me...
And don't worry Jim... I need nothing painted! But I can help...
Did we say that @Slingrazor needed gas? Maybe, maybe not - but when in the Sling you don't just cross the street and fill up ..... you have to go around the block
We found the fuel and got back on the road for a photo shoot
With the entire parking lot open for us we got to pick our parking spots
If I was still shooting film, I would be a poor man for how many rolls I would have gone through
Cool rides ....
Back to the lab we went for some experimentation and creativity - the wheels in @Slingrazor never stop turning
I was a little worried what chores we were going to have to do when Jim got this one out
Smokin hot
Love that open hood and check out the hood to roof lines
udu
As darkness set in we head to the shop to see what we could come up with
Last set for now - crazy awesome fun with the best family a guy could have away from home
