I’m apparently the new kid on this block so a bit of info about how I arrived here might be fitting. I got interested in the SS while were visiting a friend in Fines Creek just north Waynesville NC. We dropped into the Maggie Valley SS show one day to check them out and the XYLs followed later in the day. I’m sure I met some of you either there or in Hot Springs the day before. There was a group of about 8 or so just off main street that has stopped in for lunch. My wife made the statement “that’s something we can do together”. I can’t say I’ve ever heard her make a statement anything remotely resembling that remark so it understandably got my attention. In the interim, my friend located one loaded with bling and such and it followed him home. That was the final shot, so to speak. A couple of weeks ago, I was heading to Agent Orange for some building materials for a remodel we’re doing at our place in Okeechobee when I saw one setting out front of the Golden Trough. I know the manager there so we haggled a bit and made the deal– a 2016 with less than 2900 miles. The funny part about it was, his wife fell in love with a cabin in the North Georgia mountains, just north of Blairsville, that she just had to have, hence the sale for the down payment. I told him he was an idiot as he was buying a place right next door to the Dragon and miles of roads ideally suited for the SS. He admitted he may be forced to get a new one. Our friends will be heading back to FL in October and pulls his pickup behind his Monaco so I ask how he expected to get the SS back. He said he would ship it so I suggested I would load ours onto the gooseneck and we would come up and ride the Dragon and the Diamondback, which begins just a couple of miles from his ranch in Fines Creek NC. We’ll load them both on the trailer for the return trip to Fl.
Why am I here?

Welcome to the land of milk and honey !
I think you got that a little bit incorrect.
Welcome to the land of broke ass bitches
Them mods get a tad bit expensive (I say that looking at a set of QA1's that I hope to install one day)
But welcome to smiles and giggles, because the SS will make you do that. -
Yeah, when I think of my Slingshot, it isn't measured by the miles per gallon
I think about the smiles per gallon it delivers, and nothing I have previously owned or currently own beats it.
