  • Painter's Posse to SSITS17

  • Alpha CAI install

    Pam and I took it for a short ride. She was shocked that the rear tire would spin in second gear. Asked me if it did that before and I replied 'Yep when you aren't with me!!!!!'


    :D:D:D:evil::evil::evil::evil::evil::D:D:D

  • Alpha CAI install

    Alpha sent the Super Chrome CAI and I installed it. Easy as could be. Well, not for me. I followed the directions they supplied, and the filter box would not line up. WHAT THE HELL!!!!!!! I called Tech Support, got a hold of Henry aka @Turbosling and he walked me through what could be wrong. We figured out that I had tightened up a clamp before getting everything lined up.




    I want to give a shout out to Alpha Powersport, @Turbosling, and @STYLN for their generosity of such a lovely gift. <3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3

  • THE LOVE OF THE SLINGSHOT FAMILY!!!!

    Well, last week I was playing on Facebook, just looking around, and saw a post from Alpha Powersports saying that if you like and share their post, and right a review on their page, they would enter you in a drawing for a new Alpha Cold Air Intake (SUPER CHROME). Pam and I have been looking at these for a while. We were thinking about getting a black one and sending it to @Painter to have him match it.


    When I showed her the chrome one she thought it would add the 'bling' we were looking for under the hood. So we both followed the directions and waited.


    Yesterday Alpha posted that they had drawn @STYLN. Well, since we beat them getting ours painted purple, I was very happy for them. Then this afternoon I saw that I had been tagged in a comment from STYLN.


    "So it looks like we were chosen as the AWESOME winner of the Alpha Super Chrome intake!!! Funny thing is......We have one of these fantastic units already and as much as I would love to accept it and sell it to put the money towards my Super Charger I want from Alpha, I feel that wouldn't be right!!! So in these comments there is a fellow slinger that has a LOVE FOR PURPLE that I think I would like to send it to instead, so without further ado....... Devon Scott if you DO NOT already have one of these amazing units please PM me so I can get some details from you! As always we at JM Designs love making other people happy and with superb products from Henry Chan and the crew at Alpha Powersports I know you'll be just as happy as I have been since my install just about 2 years ago!!"


    DID I READ THAT RIGHT?!?!?! OMG!!! YOU MUST BE KIDDING!!!


    The hardest question now is 'Do I tell Pam or just get it in and install it?'


    I don't think I can explain the love that I have for our SS family, can't wait til I can figure out something that I can pass on. <3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3

  • Conservative Politics & Daily Events Discussion

    Epiphany this morning. Have really been trying to figure out what makes someone a Hillary or a Trump voter. Besides certain single issue causes, why are two intelligent people of the same socioeconomic status, raised in the same town who are good friends on opposite sides? I think the answer boils down to whether or not they have a job that exposes them “to the system” and how badly it isn’t working. If they do, they are a Trump voter. If they don’t, they believe big government can fix things and are a Hillary voter. For example, if they work deeply in the medical field (not where they lack patient contact), they see how badly Obamacare has hurt everyone. They also see how much fraud and abuse occurs within the welfare system. Someone who works at a university would have no idea the magnitude of this problem and innocently believe government run healthcare can help people. A small business owner, who deals every day with the mountains of restrictions and would like to hire more employees but can’t due to Obamacare issues that mean they lose certain health care tax credits if they get too many, is likely a Trump voter. They also have to deal with ridiculously high business taxes, which big corporations have money to pay lawyers to get around and set up offshore bank accounts, etc. If you work for a big corporation and are salaried, you wouldn’t probably think about any of this and may be voting for Hillary. If you are a police officer and you deal day to day with the criminal justice system and see the effects of broken homes, broken families, which is encouraged by our welfare system which penalizes people from marrying and providing that stable family unit, and then on top of that you feel the lack of support from top level administration, you are probably a Trump voter. If you maybe work in a tech industry, you would be completely isolated from this and not have any true understanding of how horrible things are. My point is this. Nobody is stupid and name-calling is uncalled for. But maybe, just maybe, questioning is called for. Maybe if you tend to trust the government to handle things and you have friends who do not, ask them why they do not. Go to work with them one day or just talk to them seriously for an hour of their time, listening to their opinions instead of bantering with them. Then, think about what they have had to say and consider the possibility that things maybe were not the way you had thought. Maybe things do need a change. Even if you do not like Donald J Trump, my suggestion is that you strongly consider a Republican vote for the purpose of system change. And remember, our country has had several effective presidents who were not at all well-liked including Lincoln and Teddy Roosevelt.

  • Back again

    I really hate to hear this news. Devon and I enjoy watching his videos on UTube.


    Someone is going to get a VERY sweet deal on his Sling.
