    Default Slingshot

    Had a gentleman come in my store today and tried to tell me that Can Am builds the Polaris slingshot. So told him I was going post it on net and see what people tell me. LOL. I say "no" he say "yes" LOL

    It's simple:
    Polaris builds the SlingShot
    and
    "Ski Doo" builds the Spyder.

    Default OMG!!!!!

    He probably wouldn't believe that BRP is Canadian & Polaris is USA!!! If you really want to get him going tell him the engine is a Rotax in the Spyder.

    You need to cut him some slack. He probably still believes in Santa Claus.

    Polaris builds Slingshot

    CanAm (Bombadier) builds Spyder.

    Elio says they build, but they don't.

    Previously : 2008 GS-SM5 (silver), 2009 RS-SE5 (red), 2010 RT-S Premier Editon #474 (black) 2011 RT A&C SE5 (magnesium) 2014 RTS-SE6 (yellow)

    MY FINAL TALLY: 7 Spyders, 15 years, 205,500 miles

    I actually have had people who look at the Spyder and ask if that is the side by side thing they have heard about. This is while directly looking at it. One guy who asked that said that he usually rides a likker sickle but he want to get a Spyder. I didn't have the heart to tell him you need a license, and about 21k to get one.
