I was just tellin' Rob - if I had beaucoup monies, I'd buy me a Slingshot for the sunny days. God knows I miss it - God also knows the people who sell conditioners for women also miss it

I think they only offer free shipping on accessories - not tires or rims
Bless ya soul - you're right. And bless my wallet - which shall be facing trials and tribulations here soon.
(this is why the Slingshot's 3 tires come in handy!)

Never met ya', but I like ya' already!!!!!!!! First round is on me!!!!!
People like you are what make the word go round! ... and round and round and then you throwup, but still - it's awesome.

Heyo - doin' some backwoods driving in the Viper this weekend and apparently ran over a twig with the strength of Superman who thinks I have the budget of Batman. Blew a rear tire, and for that car's fat*ss, I'm lookin' at $600 for ONE TIRE (my god - people, why did I buy this car?!).
That said, the stealership says I can get my own tire shipped to them, but TireRack.com is quoting $90 bucks for shipping, was wondering if any of you fine folk have a discount code or know somethin' I don't in regards to shipment of these fine rubber pieces of pavement lickers.

Is @hrmiracle around? Miss Miracle, if you say something on this thread, I will induct you into the crew.
And, Miss Miracle, I need to speak to you briefly about helping another crew member. Expect a call in the next few days.
I wanna be apart of the
slingshotgang... I mean, crew.And as always, I'm here to help as well (just no mo free car washes )

God do we miss her.
Ha! I ain't dead - I just sneak in the back door anytime I've thrown back a few at home (< jack and Pepsi? Who made this smiley?!)

It's funny how I've literally made zero dollars washing things.

The SL LE's in orange were limited - but I thought it was like 700 produced, I'd be surprised if they only did 150.... that's not enough for every distributor. The SL LE I had was allotted 2 per store.

Slowly we will get all the information over here. Come on people, all of those DIY, how to's and general info needs to be moved here. I had to tell a friend who is going to buy a SS, if he needed look for info it was at the other place. If he wanted to ask for info to come to us here at SSinfo
I took down my vid about the clicking in the rear wheel, but if anyone wants it, I can email it to them and they can upload it to Slingshotinfo's youtube page and post here.

What gives! Let me be the degenerate I always wanted to be!

@NatomasSlingshot1 - least I can do! The toy is a blast. We put more miles on it in 2 weeks than it's had put on it in 3 years.
Which brings me to my life's motto...

Tripod is the family - I am just an assist. He started the OP on the other forum and it was awkward when this forum started up. I hope my brother didn't mind.
Crystal is at the central emergency hospital as an OR nurse. Know this family a little she will make sure everything is put to the best use.Again, if I ever appeared as a poser, it was in the best interest.
Ha - no, I'm clearly just an idiot, LoL. I even talked to Tripod about this. I'll ping him! Is he not makin' the jump over?

What are the odds. This rather hefty fellow was standing with a chick who's ass-ets were large enough to perhaps garner a slight gravitational pull, so I mentioned "godd*mn girl, dat a*s though!" to which we all jumped into a conversation about rotund exteriors. One thing leads to another, and the guy and Rob bust out their phones to compare whips and this dude as one of the first SL's they released.
The look on his face when I told him my LE had gone on to make someone else's life more fulfilling was hilarious - he was like "are you insane? You sold your Slingshot... why.... why would you do this?!" All the Viper pictures in the world wouldn't have made my decision any less sound to this gentleman.

@Cape Sling what's her position? I was just reading on Reddit the best care packages to send those serving, but it depends on where / how she's serving. Any info?? I got a care package in college once and it made my life worth living. Now I send them to my adorable yet ungrateful cousins, and I'd love to send it to someone who could really use it!

This is the worst. Communities gathered around vehicles have so many pluses, but when the minuses hit, it's always devastating. How terribly sad. My best wishes to a full recovery for Pam - both physically and mentally. I couldn't imagine losing the love of my life. To Jim, enjoy the roads up there.

Ok, hopefully this saves someone the agony of trying to reinvent the wheel - aka replace the center light unit should your center units crack due to a rock like mine did.
What I started with:
What You'll Need:
- Replacement Center Unit : Purchase single unit on Amazon for $116 or Purchase double unit from Polaris for $322 (ya know - if you like wasting money and sh*t) Both are Hella Brand and include a replacement bulb
- A 10mm Ratcheting Combination Wrench - $7.69 from Home Depot (you'll need the ratcheting part)
- A Pair of Pliers
- A Screw Driver
Step 1: Disconnect both headlight units.
Step 2: Remove the Entire Center Headlight Housing by undoing four bolts (#12 in this diagram). DO NOT try to remove just the headlight. Grab that 10mm ratcheting combination wrench and remove the 4 bolts holding the headlight units in place. The two bottom bolts will be impossible to ratchet all the way off without getting your tool stuck between the hood support bar, so you'll have to manually remove it (learned the hard way). You may curse a lot, but you should not have to remove the horn so quit ya b*tchin.
Step 3: Remove the Damaged Headlight from the housing. The black things holding the headlight into the housing are some sort of Romanian quick release clamps. Don't know the real name, but use the flat nose pliers to pinch the release tabs on the three screws holding the headlight in and it should pop out. Once out of the housing, remove the black Romanian quick release clamps and use a screw driver to remove the screws if ya wanna salvage the parts. If not - just throw the unit out screws / caps and all.
Don't forget to remove the old bulb from the broken unit - future free bulb replacement, yay!
Step 4: Prepping the Replacement. The replacement headlight comes with an extra screw you won't need, so don't fret - it's like Ikea, some parts aren't necessary (maybe). Screw the bolts into the new headlight BEFORE you put the black caps on - you won't need to screw it in all the way, just match the picture up top - about half way, then pop the three caps on and shove it back into place.
Step 5: Reinstalling the Housing. New bulb in housing, return to your noble steed and reassemble using the 10mm wrench. Remember - those two bottom bolts are a b*tch, so you'll have to manually wrench it in without using the ratchet until you have clearance.
* I didn't need to adjust the angle of the headlight beam but if you do, I think they teach ya how in the owner's manual.
