Great video! I recently picked up a 2022 Slingshot when I came to the realization that my legs and hips were too trashed to ride a bike anymore. So I sold my bike and grabbed this. Much fun indeed! I drive it to work whenever the heat's not too bad and there's no rain in the forecast. Did get caught in a "Spot shower" not he way into work one day but still had a blast. :). Keep them videos coming!
@@KillswitchQueen well the one I drive was a first year model and seemed like a fast fork lift to me I rather drive can am spyder if I don a helmet with 3 wheels
We have a gal in our riding group you might have seen at both Babes that rides a red slingshot. It's definitely a bike; she goes through rear tires every 5k like a true motorcycle!
I have always kind of (snobbily) looked down my nose at those things as an avid motorcyclist, but your videos are making me think about investigating them. thanks for making the video. they do look like fun to drive - or is it ride??? 😉😉
I love the manual, it’s half the reason it’s stolen my heart 😂 it would be nice not to constantly shift in traffic, but hey it gives me something to do!
This is a very cool vehicle and quite suitable for an old dude like me. I'm thinking you wouldn't really trade your motorcycles for one and I doubt you would want to "rat-rod" it. It looked and sounded like you were having a hellava lotta fun! Blessings.
Wouldn't rat-rod one, I mean MAYBE but not anytime soon lol! I would 100% trade all but one bike for one of these... never said I wouldn't buy more bikes, just that'd I'd trade them :)
Nice video, as you said you are getting used to the stick , I just think you are driving to much in a “sport mood” revving a lot and changing gears too abruptly, you could go smoother in my opnion(that doesn’t matter) my ex girlfriend used to do the same because of her anxiety in having the gears engaged as soon as possible so she always almost brake the stick, and I told her, you have some good gap time to change gears, don’t worry.😅 anyway nice video.
You know they make sports cars that are convertible, right? Seems to be essentially the same thing without the open to put the roof up when the weather turns bad. Oh and you got to wear a helmet. Am I missing something here?
Always been curious about those things they look like they would be a blast I would make it to where I can lock the brake on one front tire so I can spin it around doing donuts
Super easy, first time I drove a stick shift after riding for years was no problem! Once you get the concept, it’s just applying it to the car/slingshot
@@KillswitchQueen awesome! thanks. I plan on getting a stick cause I love shifting my bike. I don't want to hit black ice this winter so its cager time.
Is it technically a motorcycle? Do you need a motorcycle license to drive it? Do you have to wear a helmet? Can you park it in motorcycle spots? Can you lane split with it?
@@KillswitchQueen over here, there are only few driving test cars, with automatic gearbox. If you demand to take the test on that one, instead of normal gearbox, your drivers licence will have the "disabled" note on it, so you will only be allowed to drive vehicles with automatic gearbox.

I think you love your Slingshot as much as I love mine. I get up in the morning anxious to take mine out into the wind. Enjoy
This blue and orange slingshot is my bucket list vehicle!
They look ok but if I get that I might as well get a convertible
You’d think so but it’s so different than a car, much more fun

Awesome ride! I always see groups of these cruising around in Connecticut.
A very cool bit of gear. I don't think I'd want one.. but I definitely want to drive one 😁😁
I have always wanted to build a Lotus 7 replica - similar philosophy...
After watching this video I now want to go and rent one of these to see what it's all about. Looks cool that's for sure.
Good video Olivia, I'm looking forward to more slingshot videos!!! Thank you!!

You're going to have to try out a vanderhall next for a comparison
I own a trike....which I love! But I own the next best thing to a Slingshot......a 2012 red Mustang V6 convertible!
Wouldn't mind having that in my garage xD
Right?? They are so cool
DANG!!!!! Totally dig the new ride
Thank you!!! 🤘
The automatics are better as for extra quick as far it's traffic but if you really want to get a good fast and wide always stick to the 5 speeds

what editing software do you use?
My Ex in Tx has one, she likes it. I don't get it.
Love that thing!! So cool 😎
It's a show-stopper! 😄🔥
Kind of like a car.
Nice
I have 2 of them
Lucky!!! I can’t wait until I can’t pick one up myself 🔥
You need one
Big facts!! I just need the garage space 🤣
@@KillswitchQueen I know you can make it work
Pretty open minded of you. Just made me realize how close minded I might be. Great vlog.
How does that handle
It handles really good I have 2 of them and it really hugs occur very good
What kawikatana said! It’s glued to the road in corners and turns on a dime. Tons of fun on twisty roads.
I think if I purchased a three wheeler it would be a Spyder or a trike. The Slingshot is to much like a car to me.
weeeeee. So how easy is it for a motorcyclist to adapt to car manual?

It's technically called an autocycle cycle and no you do not need a motorcycle license and you suppose to wear a helmet but they're relaxed in law
And no you cannot lane split is the size of a car at least is the width of a car
In California they consider it a motorcycle and must wear a helmet ☹️ probably better in the event of a crash though
Looks like a kick in the arce……..
No matter where the pothole is you will hit it. A Mazda Miata is a better deal.
It cracks me up, when someone makes a big deal about driving stick shift. Like, how did you get your drivers licence :P
What does driving stick have to do with a license? Lots of cars are automatic, so driving this feels like a treat!

NO! Absolutely not! Why? Cuz Im old and wise and know better!🙃
Sounds more like old and boring 😅
@@KillswitchQueen lol, yeah I suppose!😀 Looks like fun!
It's not a motorbike get rid of it your not a biker with one of them
Thank you almighty judge of bikers. You're doing the lords work 🙏
Eww gross it’s like the mid-life crisis mobile.
Wow you sound boring!
