Did we really just lose Mitch over this shit?

(That is a sad, sad, loss. And it's our loss, not his!)

Not just Mitch.

There are a few folks here who think the whole world is waiting for their well-though-out, intelligent, logical and well-articulated opinion on everything.

We're not!

Like MACAWS , when it stops being fun it's time to move on.

Phil, I'm hoping and praying that you are getting better. This thread, like many if not most, has been derailed by politics and self serving A-holes. Please keep the two to yourselves or in another thread. We all have our opinions, our research, our pick of what is the right way or the wrong way. You have that freedom last I checked in this great country.

One of our own is sick. Must the posts be about why, or how, or what would have been? The ones that have been making this about politics or anything else I feel sorry for.... No, perhaps angered by would be a better way to state it! Choose what you may, but please have the decency leave it out of this thread.

Still praying for you Phil. May you get better soon!

PS, I come here for the Slingshot community, but not so much in the past couple of years. What's in this thread is the very reason... politics and opinions have taken over many of the threads, and most importantly... what really matters. I came here all along to help others... that other BS is already everywhere you look. I don't need to come here to see more of it.
This may be my last post on here.... This place has evolved and not in a good way.

I'm glad you said this. I would be much less eloquent.

Funinthesun /Phil I wish you the best. You're a man among men and I'm praying for your full recovery and a bunch more years dancing on this planet. Cheers!

SlingLow out!

DER it looks like everything is going as planned. I sure wish I could have worked into your ride but your most westerly point is still well east of me. It looks like your having the time and trip of your life! We will be taking a scenic boat ride on the Missouri River this Monday in western Montana but that is as far east as we'll get on our trip.

Your not just racking up the miles but also the memories. Enjoy the moment and your friendships. It doesn't get any better than this! Safe travels my friend!

Why couldn't Polaris have come out with the Slingshot sooner when I was younger and in better health so I could enjoy BEING there to enjoy the ride and not sitting home in pain watching it through the eyes of the fortunate ones? For years I was upset that I was born a tad too late to have been in the middle of the crazy 60's and being there when OLDIES weren't old and seeing hotrods from their early days. Now in my old age life does it to me again and this time I'm born to EARLY to be in my prime when these first came out. I guess it wouldn't have mattered anyways as there probably wasn't enough extra cash to have enjoyed either "option if I had been offered the choice. So post away DER, as seeing these adventures do some pf us much good as it does to you guys being there in person

I've always thought I was born 200 years too late. I should have 'rode west' on a horse (I do NOT like horses), claimed my square mile and built me an existence. I wouldn't have missed internal combustion (and cell phones and internet, etc. etc.) because it wouldn't have been invented. Back then your world was what was immediately around you and you took from it what you produced. I think I would have thrived.

Not sure of the cause but here's a fix.

Sorry Doc. Wish I had something useful.

Edward Neal what's the point of asking what's the point? It's like talking to a wall, this guy...

Quote from MACAWS

I was only depressed when I couldn't find them. They were a favorite in my younger years.

Just stopped by to see what this thread is about. Thank you for the title enhancement Edward Neal . Nobody can complain about this thread, eh? I can admit that I used to pay my rent as a young man with compensation earned from picking mushrooms. My buddy and I knew a number of fields where they were abundant out in the neighborhood I live in now (cow country). We would pick a boatload and he would eat all his and I would dry mine and market them in another jurisdiction. I would make somewhere between 200 and 300 somethings per day. For anyone tracking me, this was over 40 years ago so the statute of hallucinations has expired.

And yes, I've tried them. It just wasn't my thing. I was more into earning bank without any more work than going for a walk, running away from mean cows, and moving to the opposite side of the field from the lazy cop with the shiny shoes and a megaphone.

Carry on!

Behind the camera!

Quote from MACAWS

Don't hold anything back tell us how you really feel!

We can take it

And most likely agree

I'm not known for holding anything back. Ask either one of my friends!

Seriously, Portland and Seattle need to secede from the union and start their own socialistic nation somewhere else. They have no values in common with the American people.

Now back to your regularly scheduled debauchery.....

Visit Portland

Fuck those liberal assholes.

Wait, did I say that out loud?

What I meant to say is FUCK THOSE LIBERAL ASSHOLES!!!

Don't cross the river bitches. We're ready for you.

Happy Birthday EricRedSL ! Keep on rockin' and rollin'.

Tripod is the infamous McAfee that you refer to John McAfee that died in Spain this Wednesday after his extradition to the USA was approved?

Quote from Tripod

No, I asked. I was interested in the Ranchero myself. He plans to restore & keep all of them.

Greedy Bastard! I'd probably like this guy...

Quote from Tripod

Yesterday, I went to a huge surprise birthday party for a friend. The event was held on his son’s property where he has a metal working shop (he is extremely talented). This is located out in the middle of nowhere, NM. On the acreage is an airplane hanger which is the shop. There is a well & septic. The hanger was built by none other than the infamous McAfee but he never used it. The son has a racecar there that he built & he has several car projects in progress also. Inside the hanger is a 57 Chevy he’s currently restoring (no pics, lighting was not conducive for pics) but I snapped a couple of pics of his next projects which were sitting outside. He has completed the frame for the rare AMC Marlin.

And what looks to be a '65 Ranchero. Anything for sale?

Quote from Bill Martin

I wonder if there are any Alpha parts still functioning?? I’d bet very few 🤔

I'm still running the Alpha cold air intake, Alpha coil cover, Alpha short throw shifter, and Alpha header, all working as designed, and an Alpha side-exit exhaust that rattles like a Chinese pacemaker. I really like the side-exit exhaust configuration but I can't find anyone to work on it nor can I find a replacement that uses the same hole.

This spammer that always sets up a username with Mariaxxxxx is about to get on my shit list. I am going to knock out the whole ip subnet coming from Pakistan. I don't think we will miss anything from that region.

apka shukria !

Well crap! I just had my financial advisor work my Panda Coins into my retirement plan last week. What's next? Eliminating Social Security?

Quote from EjFord

Doug Dan from Texas has done a good job for a lot of us with insurance.

I am insured by Progressive through Dan. I tried to get him to do a new search last renewal to see if there was a better rate but he never did follow through on my request.

We took the Sling to a local car show this afternoon. It's an informal Father's Day get together at a local pizza joint that's been going for 35 years now. We saw some pretty nice cars.

Then we headed to an 80 acre forest park near our house.

Just to

Quote from EjFord

I think it was a 'phone app' but either way .....NO....

When I called my insurance company to explore insuring the 'Vette they tried to hard sell me on that app. They told me, 'we have a client that saved over 15% on their bill'. I said, 'Lady, I'm insuring a Vette and I have a Slingshot. That guy probably has a Prius. If I get your app you'll raise my rates, then cancel me, and then I'll go to jail.

I ended up with Hagerty which insures non-daily-drivers (but not the Sling). Much better deal.
