The first time I saw the Polaris Slingshot on the local news in the fall of 2014, I was smitten with its crazy Batmobile looks and the sheer joy its test riders were experiencing. During the spring of 2015, I took one out for a test drive. When I started writing poetry about it (see below), I had a feeling one would be sitting in my garage sooner rather than later.
After reviewing one of the owner’s forums (www.slingshotforums.com), I was nervous about all the reported maintenance issues. Common sense lost out, and my wild side went for it. I picked up my base model over Memorial weekend 2015.
