Just wanted to introduce myself

  • I had been looking at the Slingshot for a long time, but what pushed me over the top was when my wife and I ran into a group of owners up at Idlewild CA. One guy let me sit in it and at the same time his wife was telling my wife how much she would love it. Not only did that momend cement my desire for one, but it also opened my wife to the idea that she might like it too. As far as I could tell at the time all of the three that were there seemed on the outside to be stock, but I hope to run into that group up there some time in the future so I can thank that guy fo being so kind as to let a stranger into his Sling

    Most of us Slingshot owners have probably done more in the way of 'sales' than
    most of the sales staff at the dealerships....I have let lots of different people ride and/or drive mine....

    That's no lie. In fact @EjFord gets more pretty women in his Slingshot than anyone else .... hell he got Karianne to ride shotgun in his last time we saw each other and he didn't even have to try

  • just curious. How did you find this forum? We're you referred by anyone?

    Actually I dont recall the exact subject, but I believe I was googling 4 wheel conversions for the slingshot and one of the hits was a thread here. after looking around I was impressed with the knowledge here and especially with some of the extreme mods and conversions some people are doing here.


    I figured that if there were people here putting V8's and Honda roadster motors in the Sling there is a good chance they will be able to answer any question I might have


    As a side note I joined another forum a week or so ago, but they seem to have a big problem with Chinese spam making it hard to dig through the threads

  • Welcome to the best, we are glad you are here.

    Rode mine a little hard today ... just slowed down as I passed the young man in brown and watch him turn around....pulled over before he caught up to me...
    he made a decision to write a seat belt ticket ($25.00 ---- could have argued that but the speed I was doing that was a slow down and have a nice day notice) also
    pays to be polite....
