I went and checked out a miata...and at 6 ft 260lbs...a Miata wasn't cutting it for me. Especially with the top up. I felt claustrophobic.
I guess. By an annoying, smirking, cable knit sweater guy. I took that as contrarian more than a recommendation. I bet that guy will never own either of those 'cars'.
He definitely comes off as smug on all his videos. But the fact that he said "you could do what everyone else is doing..." or buy a slingshot, was a nice change of pace from him.
My boring car is a Kia Soul.
Mine is a Honda Fit and I am still looking to get another Sling. I just have to sell my Ryker or find the right deal. lol
Two cars at the same time? Who does that? It's a crazy world we live in!
I was talking about the end of the video...the media usually slams on the Slingshot...and this time it was recommended.
I have had a reservation for this for a loooooong time...I have a feeling it's never going to happen.
Post them on Facebook market Place..I sell everything off Market Place....But Price has to be right to sell or just wasting time ..
Can't tell you how many times I have been ghosted on Marketplace. I have been trying to buy a car for 6 weeks and 4 no shows, no messages after setting up a meet up time.
Not my style...but damn that is impressive.
May have been all for nothing...the guy has ghosted me the last week, so the search continues.
DIMENSIONS / CAPACITIES
Overall Vehicle Width
77.9 in (1,980 mm)Track Width
69.1 in (1,755 mm)
This is what was messing with me. If the wheels are at 69" and the Width of the vehicle is 78"...that is a substantial difference on a trailer. Also I think that 78" is wrong. I remember measuring my first one and I could have sworn it was 81".
Check your front wheels, but generally 80+" between the trailer fenders. That generally means a 8.5' wide trailer.
Wait seriously?!?! I knew it was wide, but I haven't seen many trailers that wide to rent around me.
Sweet! Welcome back Grant! What are you giving up? Just curious.
Assuming all goes well, my Ryker 900 goes to a new home. Fingers crossed. Communication with this person has been something special.
I may have found one finally! But...I need to know how wide of a trailer do I need to get a Slingshot home? Normally I would just fly down and drive back, but It's a trade for one of my toys so I am just going to trailer round trip.
I do have his address and Phone if you need it.
All good, looks like the guy went quiet when I asked to have someone come look at it. 2nd sling I was going to buy this weekend...the owner sold it out from under me. The second one was in Houston.
Lol, Welcome back! We started our journey in 2015 exploring the PNW with our SlingShot, and the adventures still continue today exploring Montana, and hopefully more, on the east side of the divide!

Glad to be back...or be back soon. I am kicking myself for selling my first one, but the wife was able to get her dream home with the extra funds. So, now to build a new toy since everything else I have purchased hasn't brought me the same amount of joy.
Anyone know if Tripod is still around? I thought he was in the El Paso TX area?
I'll check it when I get home...Craigslist is blocked at work. lol thanks!
