After this rain here today and tomorrow and snow in the mountains our view should be even more amazing this weekend!

Nice ride! Do you have air shocks on this or air ride? This baby looks pretty low to the ground 😎

RAIN WIND GRAY UGGGGGGG
I AM NOT BUILT FOR THIS!
I am one of the lucky ones though. The saturation in the ground is starting to lead to some pretty serious mudslide and flash flood conditions for some unfortunate people 😕

Great price.... If someone in "need" doesn't grab it I would grab it for a second one...
You high roller you !

Guess what was lurking in a ditch in Orland Fl.
Looks like a great pair of boots to me....

We are enjoying this
Hope you are being safe in that neck of the woods 🤗

No SS with me
, but much warmer than in Nova Scotia!!
Warmer than Nova Scotia? That’s like dropping a brick on your toe and saying at least it wasn’t a bowling ball !
Stay warm!

Display MoreHello all!
New member here. I’ve been in love with the Slingshot since I first saw one in an advertisement probably 3 years ago. I’ve been lurking here a little over a year and reading everything I can find about the Slingshot.
Sadly, I don’t own a Slingshot but I rented one two years ago in Las Vegas and last year in Maggie Valley. It was a blast both times! Now I’m getting closer to being able to fit one into my budget. This leads to my question...
Does anyone here not have a garage or some sort of covered parking? My cars are parked outside in the open. My wife and I intend to build something (garage or carport) at some point in the future but it isn’t a huge priority.
Should I hold off on the slingshot in favor of some sort of covered parking or would one of the available covers be sufficient for a while?
I’m in east central Mississippi so snow fall is not a concern but rain is.
Thanks for any replies.
Welcome! You are gunna love your new/ perspective SS AND this forum! You have a great starting spot here!
Not sure if others have mentioned this but being in Mississippi and keeping your SS outside perhaps “critters” my be an issue as well. Both furry and crawling kind. Lots of exposed wires under the hood 😐
Post your quest here and all questions are good questions!

Answering my own questions now how cool is that !
-
I have been searching YouTube and this site but so far have come up empty on any videos or DIY chronologies on how to change the angle drive fluid. Can anybody point me in the right direction?

As Rob Lowe said should she win it will add a whole new meaning to commander-in-“chief” 🤪

I agree fully. My temps don't get to where yours do, but it does get hot here at times in the summer. I've ridden my SS at temps from low 30's to 105, and it has worked well for me. For my SS, I wasn't worried about the transmission as it is recommended for service at 50K, and it is used in other vehicles. I did change it at 25K, but I've always been anal about maintaining my vehicles. The angle drive was designed for the SS, and personally I'm sure it could have been done better. Some have cracked the housings, some have had bearings or gears fail. I'm not saying that it couldn't have happened, or that they weren't abused. However, I've heard of many failing, and many others that got replaced by Polaris because they were failing (before actual leaving the person stranded). It does seem to me from the newer ones I've been around that they may have improved them since the first couple years models. Like you, I have a 2016.5, and mine was pretty loud at times. While it's still not quiet, it has reduced the noise by at least 70% compared to new. I'd attribute Redline to at least 1/2 of that. Having the 250 on the high side, helps with the higher temps. Most of my riding is at 60 degrees and above, with likely 85% of it being closer to 80 to over 100.
Make it easy on yourself and get this tool. It's cheap, and can be picked up at most Autozones and such. I got my Redline and the tool off Amazon. Link is to show tool....
https://www.amazon.com/Plews-5…4&keywords=gear+lube+pumpGoats_Hogs - as always thank you for the detailed reply! I have the pump as I use this on the lower legs of my outboard motors - it does a great job! Appreciated. I am a "crazy on the fluids" guy too so I will look up the procedure on the drive fluid change out and get this done. A lot of rain here this week so perhaps this is the time..
Again - really appreciated!

Seriously!

EjFord I thought you packed up and went to Florida for the winter?

I totally dislike the cold too but like your dislike of the cold as well as I do not like the cold myself. It’s a chilly 60 here today and I can’t wait for the warmer weather 😜
-
I am sorry. I really don’t know how to say I like that post. I mean, damn that’s cold. Well I guess you kinda get climatized to it. There is also got to be a time to say enough is enough. Our high today was or is gonna be 42 and low of 39.
See you in kerrville
JUST SAYIN
Boomer I like that you dislike but couldn’t bring yourself to dislike but still dislike it - I like that !🤪
-
Can you tell me which one this is - - As you know I use Malcolm Smith
https://www.delamomotorsports-orangecounty.com/
I used to go to Malcolm Smith and really don’t have any problem with their service however having to leave my Slingshot there for almost 8 days to get the brake sensors replaced was a little much. I have been to Del Amo motorsports four or five times and each time been treated really well and out the door in no time at all

I feel your pain on the long trips to the dealer but here, in the belly of the beast, I have my choice in any direction. I choose one that is about 10 miles further than my closest as I am a "waiter" and a lizard in their lounge while work is done. Got my coolant tank installed and out the door in a little over an hour on a Friday morning. Can't beat that!
