It was nice of young Stephen King to let you drive it

The owner looks like he owns a Polaris Slingshot

"We have Ariel Atom at home." Ariel Atom at home:

My uncle used to ride a motorcycle. He loved loved riding. He had a brain aneurysm. He recovered but didn’t feel comfortable riding a motorcycle anymore. Someone suggested one of these as an alternative. He absolutely refused. I feel that says a lot.

A guy used to show up at the dog park with his dog as his passenger in a Slingshot, and I think that's about the only valid use case for one of these. Putting a big, goofy, drooly dog in the passenger seat with a helmet and doggles so he can roll around delighting everyone on the road.

Polaris Slingshot; the softcore midlife crisis-mobile.

It's a car! It's a motorcycle! It's neither, but worse than both!

Polaris Slingshot: For when the mid-life crisis says motorcycle, but the arthritic hands and feet say you can't brake, clutch, or shift.

My kid is 6.5 and is always delighted to see these. And that makes sense. Its the exact target market for these. Kindergarteners.

Polaris Slingshot: you bought a tricycle. A tricycle. Your inner 4 year old got the best of you. A tricycle.

I used to think these were cool after seeing them on the internet but then I saw one on the street and immediately thought, "What a douchebag."

This is classic RCR, I made it to the end of this one. I'm a motorcycle rider and I give the wave to Can-Am Spyder pilots, Slingshots and scooters. We have too many gatekeepers telling everyone how to have fun, I applaud these folks for doing what they like in a judgemental world.

Polaris Slingshot: The vehicle that you see as a free "enter to win" drawing at your local mall and you figure, "I doubt I'll win it, but if I do I'll drive it around for a bit and then sell it." I don't go to the mall often at all. But I swear there's always one of these in there and by giving your name, number, address, and email you can supposedly enter to win for "free." I have to wonder if it's all a façade that nobody wins, and it's simply the same one sitting in the mall never actually being given away.

Slingshot: For older gentlemen too afraid to take the MSF.

These things are ridiculously popular in the black community with guys in their 40s and 50s blasting Return of the Mack, Silk Sonic, and whatever 80s RnB hit was playing when they had their second kid. They’re basically rolling boomboxes with more speakers than body work.

If Dave & Busters was a car, this would be it

"In a Polaris Slingshot, don't race anybody, you will lose." me in my heavy ass Crown Vic:

This is what every drug dealer's granddad drives around the rustbelt with on summer weekends.

It looks like Michael Jacksons red jacket from Thriller.

I wave at everyone on a motorcycle.... They don't wave back. I drive a Polaris slingshot

For real though, who doesn't look in the toilet after they poop?

The other demographic of Slingshot owners; middle-aged black guys who are too scared to ride a motorcycle. They buy a Slingshot, COVER it in speakers (all facing outward), miles of LED lights, an entire AutoZone worth of stick-on emblems, and a wing that would look more at home on a Sprint car.

The front looks like a predator, and the back half looks like they forgot to finish the drawing.

Polaris Slingshot: When the Tesla Cybertruck just isn't ugly enough for you.

The "dear Stavy what do I do" after his run of "dipshit questions" fucking killed me

FURSUIT SPOTTED

It's for the people who keep falling off their bike, but still not giving up. A mobility scooter for the middle-aged extreme sports enthusiast.

Polaris slingshot.....the official rental of every tourist in every beach town during peak tourist season.

In North Carolina, everyone who owns a Slingshot attaches under lights, subwoofers, and a dune flag to it and drive around downtown blasting the worst music imaginable. I’m assuming it’s people who wanted to do the same to a Harley, but didn’t want to get a motorcycle license. The “look at me” read is absolutely on point lol.

Wait, you don't look in the toilet after you poop?

I rented one of these in Pigeon Forge with my dad and did some mountain sightseeing out there. They’re fun in the touristy aspect, that’s about it. Like renting golf carts or side-by-sides to drive on the road

The Polaris slingshot. If "My life is a bowl of porridge" was a car.

I bet that pool party was pretty wild.

Around me they’re always accompanied by blaring music and annoyingly slow driving.

When you buy an Ariel Atom from Wish

The Slingshot is truly the Plymouth Prowler of the 2020's. Future generations will look back on this thing and think..."what the fuck were they smoking??"

We probably don't allow it in Massachusetts because we don't want something that dumb taking up space on the road. 😂

Lord this video makes me wish yt comments allows media attachments, I’ve got a whole album of the slingshots with the dumbest light setups

Official car of disposable income when you're that Nick Cage character casting shade on the ubiquity of new Ferraris.

Me: What kind of Chemicals do you use for your pool? RCR: Alkyl Nitrite

These have an entire subculture similar to SLAB culture where these get adorned with crazy paint jobs, LED lights, huge rims, and massive stereo systems. It's nuts! I used to work at a Polaris dealer and spent a lot of time around these. They are pretty terrible to drive, especially on the highway. It's kinda fun around town, but they really have all the disadvantages of a motorcycle without any of the advantages. It was very common to see people buy them, keep for 6 months, and then sell/trade. Doesn't take long to get over the novelty and get bored with them.

The waterproof-Marvin-headshot bit was the first time I've laughed out loud in I don't know how long thx RCR

Every time I'm in Florida, I see a Slingshot. Never fails.

skimming the back hair floaties off of the water's surface got me to sign up for Manscaped right then and there (or right then and hair)... Most I've laughed all week!

"If you are an introvert, you have zero business driving a slingshot". Can confirm. I am an introvert, and I rented one in Vegas a few years ago. Got so many questions about it.

Polaris Slingshot: when you want to be a biker but are afraid of motorcycles.

Literally just saw one of these last night on the garden state parkway…in a thunderstorm and laughed my ass off at the guy.

You’re missing the 40+ year old black owners. They got clubs and everything. “Before I let goooooo…..” Ifkyk 😂😂

What are the odds Jay Leno's Garage would drop a Morgan 3-wheeler video the same day as this 🤣

A guy at work got one of these when they first came out. We instantly named it the tard-cart.

Props to the owner for casually rocking the Omega PloProf!

Here in Miami, these are the rental jestskis of the road.

2:08 That brass color plate is having the time of their life, would you just look at that smile!

It's a toy. It's not even an enthusiast vehicle. It's a powerwheel for adults.

I didn't know if the kind of guy who owns a slingshot is the same kind of guy who would wear an Omega Ploprof or if the kind of guy who would wear an Omega Ploprof is the same kind of guy who would own a slingshot, but now I do.

"A boring car that looks weird" Got it.

Polaris sounds like the name of someone's Fursona

This review was a nice return to form. Great job.

youtube hasn't recommended me one of your videos in quite awhile, hearing your voice and comedy-style was a nice refresh to what i've been watching lately. thanks man

Here on the south side of chicago we have big crews of people who have put rainbow light kits on these and drive them around in the summer as groups just cruising. They seem to be having a great time. Not my kind of time, but they are definitely living their best lives.

Can't see one without thinking about Idubbz

Love the episode. Great ad read.

Rented one for a day. Piqued my interest and glad to say I've done it. No desire to rent one again and couldn't wait to give the keys back after an hour or so. I imagine the Can-Am Ryker and Spyder would give the same vibes and ho hum feeling I got from the Slingshot. Not as practical, but I'll just continue to enjoy my Victory Hammer S.

I always thought these were rental only, as I only ever saw them in Virginia Beach

"If you think a Pontiac Solstice is fast..." ☠️ Oof.

come summer in my upper middle class long island town these thing some out in droves. truly they are the summer charriot of the upper middle class and it annoys me to no end

Great review. If this was the 1980s and we saw that it'd blown our minds.

currently taking motorbike classes, would love to see more NOT A CAR reviews soon!

By far the best sponsor commercial ive ever seen. I actually laughed. No other person could make a manscaped commercial comical

I've been waiting for this review for years.

Is that Stephen King

I mean..... Two seater Rwd Manual No roof No ABS Under 2000 pounds Isn't this technically the ultimate sports car?

Probably the best Manscaping ad I’ve ever seen. I’m surprised you didn’t find a Slingshot with all the Christmas lights on it, there’s a club around me somewhere and they all ride out lol

You are always spot on with the stereotypes 😂

Pete and Pete reference! “Dance Petuna, Dance!”

Great review and critique as always. I hope you guys had fun at Furrydelphia, the intro looks like you did. I've seen a couple of these randomly on the road where I live. I respect Polaris for wanting to be different and a high school dropout for being this successful, but I was honestly indifferent to the Slingshot. Do you feel the same way about the t-rex?

As a 40 year old who owned a slingshot for 1 year (as a cheap way to get a manual transmission), I can vouch that this assessment is spot on. I couldn't get rid of that thing fast enough.

....i mean, probably the best manscaped ad.

I'm surprised that Harmony Gold hasn't blocked the Slingshot for IP infringement.

You can't miss potholes.

This is the BEST review of any motorized "vehicle" I've ever heard!!!!!!!

My boss asked me this week if ive heard of this comedian Stavros and my whole career flashed before my eyes

Surprised to see one of these without LED string lights and ski boat speaker pods mounted all over it.

I'm just gonna say it Would

Look up Campagna T-Rex. Pre-dates the Slingshot by at least 20 years. Much lower volume sales, but so much better.

My ex’s creepy stepdad just happens to have a 2017 Polaris Slingshot that he WRECKED while test-driving, and the description at the beginning of the video of the average owner is SPOT TF ON… I’m dying, here 😂

This thing with an S2000 engine, paddle shifters, and a CHAIN would be a menace

We have a term in the UK for something that's not fast but faster than most. Nippy. Is it fast? Not really It's nippy though

Here in Hoboken, NJ people rent these just to drive around the city and blast music to ungodly volume levels.

That's the HOTTEST Manscape ad I've ever seen

Its a reverse trike

Polaris Slingshot: The official car of mid-life crisis studs cruising for young poon

When you're driving a slingshot, you have to think ferrrrarrrri

There's a dude around me who has one with a star wars like speeder style wrap on it. It has a roof with the rebel insignia and everything, it always brightens my day to see it speeding by

Rolling codpiece.

It’s the practicality of a motorcycle with none of the lane splitting capabilities.

You were so spot on with this one Mr R, the rental car engine fits so well considering the first time I saw one was in Vegas back in 2015 on a rental lot, they were everywhere on the strip. As for the sitting down camping, I recall seeing an English couple in thier 40's on TV where they were happily sharing photos of their trips in their RV. 3 out of 4 photos shared were just them sitting in front of the RV at the same flimsy folding picnic table, each holding a cup of tea. So they spent hours travelling up and down the country, to sit in fields and drink tea, and take the same dull photo of the same damn experience with only a slight shift in background greenery. Not mention paying for the privilege. In retrospect the perfect polaris couple.

I never thought I'd hear, "I just want to inflate big and round" from Mr Regular. But it is accepted

Here is a simple guide for anyone considering buying one of these things. Step 1: Touch Grass Step 2: Go buy a Miata instead
