Exactly what I think at almost stop light when some young douche pulls up in his jacked up tricked out monster truck wannabe with the loud exhaust. Those drivers may as well be standing on the corner screaming and waving, "won't somebody please pay some attention to me!?!?!".

I don't have any problems with them. Some people want a something between a car and motorcycle. Plus it's probably a lot safer than a motorcycle.

I don't have any problem with the vehicle itself

But if there are two of them parked outside and establishment there's probably a 50-50 chance of gunfire

Wasn’t that going to save Shreveport?

I think there was something similarly absurd that was going to save Monroe.

I ride a motorcycle. My wife will ride with me but she'd prefer something like this.

I'd have to compare pricing. If it's not MUCH cheaper than something like a miata, then I don't see the point.

But it looks like fun.

Slingshots are fun bro. Nothing like having a beautiful lady on your arm on a nice cool spring/summer night, cruising around downtown in your slingshot.

I almost put $100 down 8 years ago. Glad I didn’t. Very surprised they returned them.

Unfortunately, the Aptera is also likely a vaporware car, but I would actually consider owning it (solar panels in sunny conditions would roughly cover my commute for the week (not enough day by day, but would make up for it with the days off)). I’m not going to attempt to early adopt even if it does come to fruition, but it’s the one EV that almost fits a use case that I could justify.

3 wheelers are about as old as they get.

The first production car was a three-wheel car.

The Benz Patent-Motorwagen, although I think Morgan made the first production three-wheeler with one wheel in the back.

I saw a few in a group ride that looked to be from Houston, passing through a smaller town on a Sunday night. That was the first time.

I’ve clearly caught you between rides on your three wheeler.
I do not own one as I don't see the appeal for the cost.

A little reading comprehension would go a long way. You gave a whoa is me im rubber your glue clapback to be criticized for being called douchey for gaf what other guys do for fun. I said it's one thing to do xyz, and a whole nother thing to call something you don't understand or enjoy douchey because you don't get it. I was saying how you could have approached it to not appear douchey, so no shite you didn't say any of that.

One of the first ones I ever saw about 6-7 years ago was owned by a 70 year old retired Army E-8.

He traded his Goldwing.

The damn thing was real quick.
