Wow Bill, I love your new home and I've always loved Maggie Valley...See you in the Spring at SSITS...

I think 45 mph in heavy rain with summer z rated tires and a very light vehicle spells big issues ahead.

Sometimes in life you know it's time to make a change. Jookyone, I wish you the best of luck with your new wheels and please stay on the site with us no matter what you're driving...

Brother , I remember that day like it was yesterday! Eating that BBQ and sitting with my wife and I. I can’t belive it’s been two years already. Best Life investment ever ! Slingshot life is the best life !
I remember the day when this stranger walked up to me at an Autozone. Hey man, nice Slingshot. I own one too. You should look at that axel nut and make sure it’s set right and won’t move. I am thinking yeah buddy heard that a million times pulling up to well at that time anywhere. We swapped numbers and now getting close to 3yrs now. One of my best friends now @TheRock

Right now I'm on my 2nd SS, a 2016 1/2 Blue Fire. The only mod, a Momo shift knob. My 2015 had a few including a 2nd rear camera to view behind all the time, a dual horn, under brow lights, GPS, and of course a red Momo shift knob....

Don't forget in a race car the roll cage is a capsule for the driver - the harness just keeps him or her in that protective cocoon. Plus race cars are designed to shed parts to release energy. We have none of that

Oh, maybe that's why our SS's loose our reflectors and hood pads and countless other parts...

The panel is mounted above the door and the wire fits inside and over the door...

I went online and purchased a solar panel from battery tender, it keeps my bikes and SS fully charged.

I use public storage and it is working out great 10 X 25 room for the SS as well as air, charger, mini lift, tools and 2 other bikes...

Hey Volley37,
I'm in south jersey and there are a few more of us around. I'm in the Mount Laurel area...

I've heard over the past year a number of SS's have been stolen. I lost my first one last Thanksgiving right out of my driveway. Why doesn't Polaris have a steering wheel lock or some other device that will prevent the SS from being rolled away and loaded on a flat bed.
What are some ideas to prevent the SS from being stolen???

Everyone should beware, my sling was stolen here in NJ on or about Thanksgiving. It was stolen right out of my driveway cover and all. There is no steering lock and it's my thought that they released the brake and rolled it up onto a truck and away it went. If I ever get another, I will chain it whenever I am not driving it, then lock it up in a garage.

Yep.

I was going to go last year but I had to go to MI for my son's graduation. I was going this year but at the last minute my daughter got very sick and the trip was to the hospital and not the smokies....It's always something...I can't plan to go anywhere, I just have to go...I'm glad everyone is having a great time down there...next year....next year.

Quote from NatomasSlingshot1

with those doors---is it fully enclosed??????? I guess that's one way to stay dry. does it have an A/C?.....wow... that's different

How hot is it inside? Did they do anything with heat reduction or vents?

So many...
The Doobie Brothers, Long Train Running
Tom Petty, Refugee, Jethro Tull Locomotive Breath, The Stones Sympathy For The Devil, The Allman Brothers Statesboro Blues, Springsteen Born To Run, The Eagles Boys Of Summer...many many more

I put in a momo

Hey, good luck with your new SS, it will bring you hours and hours of pleasure. Enjoy

@rabtech, looks like I'm going to be the minority here, but I'll give my opinion anyway. I like the idea that as a member I'd have some super cool access that nonmembers and lurkers wouldn't. But in the end some folks just like to lurk, but really don't have anything to contribute and in the world of the internet and free information... that's okay. Though, for the record I do feel that if you are going to benefit from the site, you should also be contributing. Anyhow, in the end, all it would probably do is cause a bunch of folks to sign up just so they could get the info but they wouldn't be active members. So we'd have a bunch of members but some of them wouldn't be active at all. We may have some of those already, but that number would grow. In the end, it's my opinion that we'd be sacrificing quality for quantity.

Maybe it's me...I really don't understand...This is a well organized site, no one is asking for any money. If you want to be able to see select content you must sign in...No one is asking each member to produce content or be a tech wiz, just join if you want full access. This will not chase away lurkers or dilute quality, it will just make anyone who wants to see all sign up...My 2 cents.

Quote from Tripod

A man and his dog were walking along a road.
The man was enjoying the scenery, when
it suddenly occurred to him that he was dead.
He remembered dying and that the dog walking beside him had been dead for years.
He wondered where the road was leading them.

After a while, they came to a high, white stone wall along one side of the road. It looked like fine marble.

At the top of a long hill, it was broken by a tall arch that glowed in the sunlight.
When he was standing before it, he saw a magnificent gate in the arch that looked like mother-of-pearl and the street that led to the gate looked like pure gold.

He and the dog walked toward the gate, and as he got closer, he saw a man at a desk to one side.

When he was close enough, he called out,
"Excuse me, where are we?"

"This is Heaven, sir," the man answered.

"Wow! Would you happen to have some water?" the man asked.

"Of course, sir. Come right in, and I'll have some ice water brought right up."
The man gestured, and the gate began to open.
"Can my friend," gesturing toward his dog,
"come in, too?" the traveller asked.

"I'm sorry, sir, but we don't accept pets."

The man thought a moment and then turned
back toward the road and continued on the way he had been going with his dog.

After another long walk, and at the top of another long hill, he came to a dirt road leading through a farm gate that looked as if it had never been closed.

There was no fence.

As he approached the gate, he saw a man inside, leaning against a tree and reading a book.

"Excuse me!" he called to the man.
"Do you have any water?"

"Yeah, sure, there's a pump over there,
Come on in."

"How about my friend here?" the traveler
gestured to the dog.

"There should be a bowl by the pump," said the man.

They went through the gate, and sure enough, there was an old-fashioned hand pump with a bowl beside it.

The traveler filled the water bowl and took a long drink himself, then he gave some to the dog.

When they were full, he and the dog walked back toward the man who was standing by the tree.

"What do you call this place?" the traveler asked.

"This is Heaven," he answered.

"Well, that's confusing," the traveler said.
"The man down the road said that was Heaven, too.'"

"Oh, you mean the place with the gold street and pearly gates? Nope. That's Hell."

"Doesn't it make you mad for them to use your name like that?"

"No, we're just happy that they screen out the folks who would leave their best friends behind."
