Not very exciting, but I got to go to the bank today. Thing is, I didn't go to MY bank, I instead took a little detour for lunch and drove to a bank about 20 miles away instead. Didn't even get out of the SS - just rolled thru the drive-thru ATM, deposited some cash, then drove back. Did stop at Andy's Frozen Custard and got myself a Round Rock Express Concrete for lunch since I had a $5 reward to use. (Hey! I was good - I ate an apple for lunch first!).

Not specifically on this issue, but I did speak w Mark Zarate acouple weeks ago. They were just absolutely slammed and trying to get through everything as fast as they could. I know they were trying to build up stock for 3 Slingshot shows in Texas over the next 6 weeks. Maybe send him an email and give him a few days to respond .

First, I was like How is that getting ready for summer? Then I noticed the background. He-Heh.

I know is not the right spot to post this,
I did see an advertisement from our tv/internet provider. That’s so cool plus even they know the red ones are the fastest 😂😂😂
Yep, same commercial used by MyGrande internet in our area. There's a thread on "Slingshots In The Movies" somewhere.

Okay, WTF is That?!?!?!?
I saw yours and thought, Okay, That's really pretty and I like it. I should go paint my intake like his. Then I looked at mine and noticed that is nothing like mine.I'm presuming something for the turbo, but what kind? Spill the details.

Dave@DDMWorks - You're just trying to get to my credit cards aren't you?

Actually, I just installed those, so my Sling now has four identical 6.5 inch coaxials; two on the floor and two in the roll hoops, driven by a 300 watt amp, so I'm pushing about 75 watts to each speaker. They are much clearer and louder than stock, but only when you crank up the volume. The first thing I noticed, when driving around is that you don't even hear the speakers on the floor because your head is much closer to the other two. I don't mind that so much, as now I can actually hear my music quite clearly over the engine.
I did the same thing - SSV Works Front (leg) pods and rear hoop pods, running 4 x 6.5" Kicker Speakers with LEDs off a single Kenwood 300.4 Marine amp (300W total, 75W each speaker). Sounds great to me although I do wish I could find a decent marine subwoofer that doesn't take up the rear storage. I found that playing around with the balance and fader I could move the "center" of the sound so that I don't just hear it behind my head. My sound seems to come right from my gear shift right now.

Not sure how safe it is, but you can ride this slingshot instead....
Nah, the other one will be cheaper in the long run.

I's sorry, I firmly believe if you want the best tasting bacon nothing beats frying it up in a good old cast iron skillet and when that's done then fry up some potatoes, onions and peppers in the leftover bacon grease
other methods "might" make it healthier, but I just don't see the point in trying to make bacon healthy - if you want healthy eat a bran muffin or something else - - not bacon
Don't really care of the health aspect of bacon. But it is called BAAK-UN, not FRY-UN or COOK-UN or SKILLET-UN or . . . . .
But I tried it once (baking) and now I just love it. I cook up 1-1/2 to 2 lbs every time and then keep it around to use all week..
I will be doing the cast iron skillet method in a week - goin' camping with brand new CI skillets and dutch oven.

Call Dan ..
Yep, first place I got insurance from. He put me into Allstate. Over time, the Allstate got too expensive for all the vehicles (3 cars, trailer, house, SS, 2 daughters) so I switched to Geico just last year. Feel like it's a bait-n-switch to get point for a not-moving violation.

Mother F'Er!
Just got my new insurance rates from Geico. Jumped almost $70/month. Called them about it - apparently I had a "Speeding Ticket" last year that just got reported in October and now hit's this renewal. I knew I didn't have a speeding ticket so I questioned them about it. And I quote: "Speeding under the posted limit". WTF??
Found my ticket. I got it for "Impeding Traffic" in San Antonio last July, not speeding. In fact, I was stopped in an intersection when the light changed on me and I couldn't get out (a bus pulled in front of me). I just paid the $232 fine last year because I didn't want to do the traffic school. 1 point. That's all it took. F Me.
Got any lawyers here?? -
Yeah, understand. Try angling it away from the roll hoops, and anything metallic in general.
-
Mmmm..... Baaaaaacoonnnnnnnn!
Fixed myself some thick sliced Applewood Wood smoked bacon this morning! Expensive and worth every penny.
BTW, I bake my bacon - 25 mins at 400 degrees for the thick stuff. Delicious. Try it.

I installed my antennea in the rear by the fin next to the roll bar, I wonder if that might be causing the interference?
I can definitely say yes. If you move your antenna away from the roll hoops, that will help some. Better would be to mount it to the top of the SlingShade. I did some testing with the stock antenna a few years back, just moving it to different spots. The higher and further away from interfering metal, the better.

They guy had it on the head at about the 4:30 min mark: Donuts, Drifting around the corner, lost control, spun, hit median, flipped.
ID-10-Tee!

That one is easy. You just say "hon remember when I asked you sex or Slingshot parts?".
I always tell her "It's the Slingshot Club or the Strip Club. You pick."
After a while though, she figured out the strip club would be cheaper and take less of my time in the long run.

uh huh well if you only knew lol. plus there are so many more things that i want to do and right now just dont think i should push it. i want the hood vents. i want hood cut out and i want to change my audio, very displeased with the Sony AX-100. the radio isnt for shit on that thing. can only listen to blue tooth. and quite a few other upgrades i want to do to it.
Don't blame the radio. Are you using the stock antenna? Even it's not that bad - it's jut mounted badly. If you relocate the antenna, or do as some people have done and cut a hole in the front portion of the fin for the antenna to poke through, it will be much better. I actually did some experiments with the antenna and just moving it above the roof line (or above the roll hoops) makes a world of difference, even with the stock antenna.

Yes, and Yes (to Edward Neal too).
But you don't need to go crazy with the shocks unless you really wanna go crazy. I paid for 3-way adjustables and rarely use them. My current recommendation is the DDM Works Sport Handling package if you don't want to spend thousands.

Remember, if you don't wear a kilt "regimentally", it's just a skirt. I own 2 kilts (Irish National and black utili-kilt) and know how to wear correctly.
Oh, and I've only ever worn one once in the Slingshot. Tired of it flying up and blocking my view (but giving everyone else a view . . . . . .

Got a group of us who headed out to Luckenbach (you've all that song in your head now...) then to Fredericksburg for Schnitzel and beer. Mostly a leisurely drive, then headed back through some twisties until we got stuck behind a trailer. I did get my Dam Photo i wanted.
