That may be somebody's style, but it ain't mine.

Did they ever get the legality of those things figured out in Texas?

Yes. Just recently. I'd never drive it here.

Go to sit in one today. The seat was comfortable, but the legroom sucked and the driver floorboard was like putting my giant feet in a shoebox. With my right foot on the gas pedal and resting against the right side wall, the left side of my foot was maybe 1/4" from the brake pedal. It would be flat out dangerous trying to drive it like that. I could maybe shave some material off the right side of the brake pedal, and wear ballet shoes, but that ain't cool.

Oh well. It's just not meant to be.

Shit might as well be a Miata.

Buy an already built Ariel Atom 3. It's only about double the price

For that kind of scratch I'd rather build a kit Shelby Cobra.

I think those cars are so ugly.

It's a moot point now, but the Slingshot can be had for $20k. I damn sure don't want to spend my free time building anything when there is so much other stuff to enjoy up in the mountains.

The old lady likes the new Mustangs, and I think that would be a great choice for a daily, but if we get another vehicle, it will barely get driven. I can't justify dropping $30-40k for something I'd surely end up wanting to modify anyway to get my blood flowing.

Sucks man.. One of the disadvantages of being supersized.

My current car ( 2015 Fusion ) is the only car I've driven that I didn't have to have the seat all the way back to fit in. Being tall can suck sometimes.

They look ever more ridiculous in person. There's one in my neighborhood and the rider takes "biker fag" to the next level.
