    Looks like the Batmobile and the Munsters Hearse had a baby.

    Looks like a Polaris slingshot on drugs.

    "Fugly" isn't even close.

    I did not think they could make that "vehicle" any uglier.

    I just threw up in my mouth a little... But I hope the owner loves it and it takes him on many great adventures.

    You know, after my last divorce, I was forced to stay in a rather, let's be generous and say "inexpensive" motel.
    My next door neighbor was a guy who had his face tattooed so that he looked like a lizard.

    Really, his whole face was covered with tattooed scales.

    All I could think of was :
    1) "How drunk was he to think that was a good idea?"
    2) "How LONG was he drunk to have them tattoo his ENTIRE face?"

    What happened to that poor Polaris Slingshot reminds me of lizard face.

    I kind of like it and thought it was neat. But, I like different and sometimes strange vehicles. Would I buy one like this? Probably not.

    Hey, I bought one of the first Spyders and sight unseen at that. Got the first one sold to a customer in Alaska.

    I suppose the saving grace is that you can't see much of it while sitting in the driver's seat! And it does make it pretty difficult to steal successfully I would think. Then again, I can't imagine anyone wanting to steal it.

    "Interesting" was the correct choice of adjectives, Ron.

    I didn't want to bias the responses. I like it. Not that I'd want to own one. There are a lot of things I like that I'm not looking to own.

    But after polling the crew here, I knew my opinion would be in the minority.

    GrandPot is right. There is no accounting for taste!

    It's kinda cool, but kinda ugly, too. The sad part is that once you've done that to your Slingshot, you might as well have bought a small sports car. Probably be cheaper if you did. That's not to say I wouldn't rock a fully covered Slingshot, but not that color!
