I liked the fact that they actually deal with disabled riders as well.

doubt it will make a go at 40K or so.
Polaris slingshot seen a few on the road but not many having a GM 4 cylinder in them.
I sat in one once and needed help getting out, no joke, way too low to the ground and skinny for anyone much over 200lbs.

I have mixed feelings about these, looks kind of like a front wheel car that has been cut off and then part of a motorcycle frame attached to it. I do like the way it sets low. As far as the $40,000 price tag just look at the price of a new DCT Goldwing that has been converted, it is in that same range and way too expensive for me.

Pretty crazy looking chopper-esque low rider. Interesting La-Z-Boy ergonomics, but I do kinda like those humongous running boards. Looks like lotsa stretch options there! Not sold on the looks overall. Seems like it's molded out of one big chunk of genuine plastic.  The engine is another story, and would tempt a test drive. Like the styling of this model more, less plastic.  Engine up close.  Can't hide money.  About 40 grand. Pfft. |

Those running boards look like leg breakers to me.

You'd have to sell (or mortgage) your house to buy a real 427 Shelby Cobra.
But there are decent replicas (kits).

That picture is a replica kit. I have found a few in the affordable range |

I had a thing for convertibles (in MI) from age 16 up. But every one of them (5) leaked, and I froze my ass off in winter. FL doesn't freeze, but I hear it rains there from time to time.  And then there's skin cancer, which is a problem for me. But hands down, the 427 Shelby Cobra (or even one with a 350 in it or a kit car) is my favorite all time car. |

It would be used like a motorcycle. For fun mostly in fair weather not daily transportation |
