The question I get the most and I can't believe people who I've never met ask is how much does it cost. I get that question every time I have it out riding. I don't know why I just think it is rude to ask people what their vehicle cost. I always answer nicely but I'm always surprised they ask even though I know it's coming!
Weird questions people ask about your slingshot.

I actually got asked a question Saturday night that I've never been asked before:
"Do you get lots of bugs in your face?"

I was just asked "Does it have a back seat"

I was asked yesterday after getting gas, "How much does that thing cost, like a million dollars?" I was asked 3 times just yesterday. I did use a line I heard at the Savanna ride one of the times. "I have no idea, I put it on my wife's credit card...."

"I have no idea, I put it on my wife's credit card...."
Yeah, I've started using that line too...

Just say to them: I have no idea of the cost. Ever since I won the lottery, my accountant pays all my bills

Yes!

Today, a lady asked if the Slingshot is easy to steer. I said it handles very well and can hug the turns.
She says "how does it do that with only one wheel up front?"

My favorite line is ,' A LOT LESS THAN A NEW HARLEY WITH THREE WHEELS !

lady asked me today if I built it. Told her no, just customized a lot.

I went to the VA last week when I came out a guy asked if it's a snow mobile,I said it's a 105 degrees out how do you think I got it here.HERE IS YOUR SIGN.

Twice in two days recently, I was asked (by two different 'twenty-something" guys) if it's easy to pick up women with the Slingshot.
I answered that I didn't know because I hadn't tried it, but while I was researching the vehicle, before buying one, I came across posts online regarding that subject. The posters said that as sports vehicles go, the Slingshot is pretty much invisible to women. Guys flock to it like bees to honey, but women don't really pay much attention to it. Now that I have one, I can pretty much confirm that. 99.9% of the comments I get about the Slingshot are from men. VERY few women seem to even notice the Sling, and even fewer ever make any comment to me about it. I advised that if their goal is to pick up gold diggers, pass on the Slingshot and get a Lamborghini.

I don't know @Tech_Rick, I just met with friends at a Starbucks yesterday and 3 separate women came up to my table (outside in front of the Sling) and interrupted us to say 'nice ride' or some equivalent. Average age: 75ish.
Last week I was golfing and when I came out to the parking lot, 2 teenage girls were posing and taking pics outside the Slingshot. I walked up and asked if they'd like to sit inside. They acted embarrassed and declined, and after they left I thought, 'Oh hell! I'm a creeper!'
My favorite though is the guy that I was walking next to as we left Harbor Freight heading to the parking lot. When we got up to the Sling and I threw my bag in he said, 'That looks like a blast! Does it run?' I thought really?!? Do you think I pushed it here? Will you help me push it home? The slack-jawed look on my face must have said it all. He just turned and walked quickly away without another word. Here's YOUR sign!

@SlingLow, the young folks today also use "does it run" to mean "does it go fast" or "does it haul ass?" Think of it in terms of "Can it *outrun* the 5-0?" LOL

Got it @KayTwo, thanks for clarifying. I'll remember that if it comes up again. This wasn't a young guy, however. Could still have been his meaning though. Every once in a while an old dog like me says 'Oh, Snap!' Gets funny looks though...

I get lots of questions about the SS from women. Probably about 40-45%. Admittedly, about 50% of those women are over 50. I just chalk it up to my complete sexyness.
