look cool, seem way overpriced. Can't find any data on specs.

My coworker bought one last summer. he still hasn't driven it into work for me to pee on. Nearby NAPA store bought one for deliveries.

60mph in 5.2?

why not just get a motorcycle?

Cause they only have 2 wheels.

i've seen one on the road, looks extremely cheap and poorly made. for the price i'd rather have a base model caterham 7.

You'd never get a based model Caterham for the price.

you hold all the disadvantages of a motorcylce with none of the advantages

the only thing good is that you can smash breaks

>you hold all the disadvantages of a motorcylce
Yeah no. Exposure to the weather is the only disadvantage it shares with a motorcycle.

I'd buy a Manx dune buggy or just build a rail buggy first.

>hard to see
>easy to die in a crash
>lower traction than 4 wheeled cars

oh and the center tire will pick up the shit that deposits in the middle of the road, so enjoy oil slicks

well maybe not. a 280 is about $14k more than the slingshot but well worth the extra dough.

Poser mobile for people too afraid to get a Can-Am Spyder, let alone a real motorcycle.

I literally just saw one tonight and was like
>X-Bow.??? :D
>The fuck is that

Bikefags hate these to death.

Carfags hate them too.

also, lol 2.4 ECOTEC.

exclusively purchased by cucks

I've only seen niggers riding these.

Saw one in a showroom floor, got in, seemed nice. Like a sporty ATV or something, then a realized it was a 3 wheeler, and I walked away.

To be fair I'm a bikefag and I hate all trikes. Around here only visor wearing hair gel spiking assholes have those. Oddly enough dindus also love them and I've seen two that have been chromed out already.

God even the Can Am Fagster is better than this shit.

thats because bikefags like to think they are hardcore tough guy rossis. there's nothing more cringe than your average sportbike rider. not even honda owners.

>there are exactly two kinds of motorcycle
>Asian Ricer Crotch Rocket
>American Rumble Buggy

yeah basically.. are you denying it?

Don't know about him but I am.

wtf are you arguing then? what is your point?
that not all cruisers and sportbikes are japanese/american?
because that has literally nothing to do with what I typed at all.

I am extremely disappointed in both of you
clickhole.com/article/2-types-motorcycles-there-are-2487

looks like a fag car. Probably a bit faggier than a miata

>wtf are you arguing then?
WTF made you think I was arguing?

>because that has literally nothing to do with what I typed at all.

>ar·gu·ment
>ˈärɡyəmənt/
>noun
>1.
>an exchange of diverging or opposite views

gee i dont know maybe because you did the fucking definition of arguing.

Bullshit you spaz.

The engine is a 2.4L GM Ecotec I4 making 170-175 HP.

imo there is only 2 good excuses to own a trike.
>you're too old to balance a bike anymore
>you fucked yourself up somehow and can't ride a normal bike anymore
However theres no excuse for the slingshot besides for attention. Though I saw a really elderly couple driving one the other day and you can tell they just didn't give a shit so they get a pass

>WTF made you think I was arguing?
Oh I'm sorry, but this is abuse.
You want room 12A, Just along the corridor [stupid git].

It's pretty ugly for what it is the wheelbase seems to short or something?

If I'm going to spend money on something like that, then I might as well go all out with it

>the reason it has 3 wheels is because in america 4 wheel cas need to have side airbags and pass other safety regs

nice "freedom" guys

Thanks, we enjoy our safer cars alongside our guns.

>safer cars
>america still has the highest vehicular related deaths in the OECD

kek

>front engine
>"motorcycle"

Also that thing between the driveshaft and chain drive looks doomed to fail.

It's a backwards t-rex

Why the fuck would you buy one of these when you can get an Ariel for the same price?

Maybe that's because ours have engines bigger than 1L

it's because there are actual roads here

>Lost right leg
>Rerouted rear brake to additional left lever
No excuses

>Literally worse than a busa
>With double the displacement

per capita?

A ecotec engine, well at least one part of that pile will last more than 2 yrs

>Carfags hate them too.

No I don't.

1 in 2 chance you'd flip it within the month.

Wow, kind of slow desu.

it looks like it was designed in the 80s.

Actually, let me rephrase, kind of slow for how many downsides it has.

Saw a few at bike week. All of them were tailor Queens. Kinda sad.

In my state you need a motorcycle endorsement to have one. But no bikers wave to them. Because it's a fkn car

>being this nobike

ew, fuck no

for the same price you can get a 2013 porsche 911 r with 190k miles with three times the horsepower

>porsche
>190k miles
M8

>buying a 2013 porsche with 190k miles

lolno

This. I saw one up close and it looked like it was made out of cheap unfinished blow molded plastic. Looked cool from >30 feet away though.

It's basically the 'I couldn't afford a Campagna T-Rex, so I got this instead' car

go-karts for faggots.

Found the poorfag

300 million people in the u.s. how many in your shithole country?

>3 years old
>Porsche
>almost 200k miles
That car is fucking ruined, I guarantee it.

I agree they're overpriced, but they look fun as fuck to drift in. Looks like it handles like a proper skid rig right out the box. I cans see the appeal if your rich and have money to waste.

pardon the awful song, but the footage is good.

>what is weight

I'm 100% with this man.
Why would you try to defend the US's shit nanny state laws in the name of nationalism?
The US is objectively a shithole when it comes to car regulation.
Safety is a person choice, and only fags are concerned with it.

>i dont know what per capita means
