    Still researching these things and tyrying to see if I really want one. They're legal now in Maryland. And they appear to absorb deer strikes fairly well.
    Dude!

    I found an amazing deal on a Polaris slingshot, and right here in Marylandastan

    Read my sig, fear of fire or burning down my house was the primary reason for the lawyer and my Can Am Spyder adventure! When the 2014 replacement started having issues with the auto-trans it was time to get away from the brand.

    The price point is fantastic on the Slingshot ... The rear just doesn't look finished.

    The Morgan is a nice 3 wheeler also, my choice as many of you know is the Kawasaki 1200cc powered Campagna T-Rex's built from 2003 - 2006. OVER-priced for what you get, however it's a lot of fun. I have owned 3 and my favorite was the early 2005 model. I also hit a large raccoon riding the T-Rex, killed it and it cracked a portion of the nose fiberglass.

    If you are interested in a 3 wheeler ... you can pick up a low mile 2003-2006 T-Rex for around $30K-$36K, slightly more $$$ then a Slingshot, but a lot more fun and a beautifully designed machine.

    I do see these slingshots everywhere, they are definitely popular. I have also owned a the Can Am Spyder RTS. The Can-Am also generated a lot of heat around my legs and feet. You could hear the gasoline gurgling inside the fuel tank at times from the excessive heat.

    I also thought they would be a pretty cool ride. A buddy and I went and tested one and it was hot, loud, and very uncomfortable. Performance was not near what I expected.
    I'll pass.

    Corbin makes rear bags for the slingshot that finish it off and add valuable storage. If you don't think they are fast enough just try one with the turbo kit. Still less than a T-Rex. These things are a blast to drive. Big kids go-kart. I took one to lunch and parked next to a really nice Aston Martin. Nobody even looked at the guys car. He was so pissed he wanted to race. Ha Ha. $25K will make you a star. They also make heat mitigation kits for them and have baker wings to bring in air, etc. You can rent them in lots of locations.Attachment 24160Attachment 24161
