I saw this neat vehicle on my early morning walk. Just the right thing for the San Diego climate! About $35K I think. ![]() ![]() Serious about crackers. | ||

There are several iterations of this type machine floating around in Memphis, and while we were recently vacationing along the gulf coast there were rental companies that made them available. The Memphis versions appear to have bright neon light kits and a plethora of speakers from which they spew unintelligible garbage matched to a drum beat. ________________________________________________ "You cannot legislate the poor into freedom by legislating the wealthy out of freedom.

Did a quick search on CycleTrader and it costs more than a Mazda Miata. I don’t know anything else about them. Polaris’ slingshot (Vanderhall’s more established competitor) costs same as Miata but doesn’t do anything as well as a Miata.

Mrs DF and I were this close to buying the Carmel Vanderhall. They are fun and very fast. They are pricey enough that we considered what else we could buy with that kind of dinero. We ultimately decided against it. We determined it would be a money loser because of depreciation and that we would likely lose our enthusiasm for it too soon. Fun toy though.

I honestly don't get the appeal of these over a conventional convertible which has the advantage of taking longer trips without the concern about weather. _____________________ Be careful what you tolerate. You are teaching people how to treat you. | |||

Biggest difference (apart from styling) between the Vanderhall & Polaris: Vanderhall: FWD, AT only. Drivetrain is Chevrolet Cruze based. Polaris: RWD, AT or MT. Engine from a Chevrolet Cobalt, Saturn Sky, Pontiac Solstice up to 2019. 2020 & newer uses an in house engine, with ~25 more HP. IIRC, the Slingshot is wider than a C6 Z06 Corvette ![]() The Enemy's gate is down. | |||

That’s what we thought too. For the money they wanted I could buy a convertible Mustang GT. You’re a lying dog-faced pony soldier | |||

I remember a comparison between the Slingshot & ND Miata. Ending consensus was that the Slingshot did nothing that the Miata could do better, except for having a waterproof interior. That said, most of the Vanderhall reviews I've seen have been pretty positive. No knowledge on the Morgan 3-wheeler. The Enemy's gate is down. | |||

A month or two ago I drove from San Diego up to Santa Clarita which meant going through LA traffic. At one point the far right lanes were moving VERY slow with speeds gradually increasing the further left lanes. Problem was, two women in something like what is seen, wearing bikinis while riding in the far right lane. I am sure they were just attention whores and had zero intention of wanting to cause a three mile backup nor any ensuing accidents. Life moves pretty fast. If you don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Couldn't have put it better. These things are terrific as occasional rentals, but unless you're a multi-millionaire type who doesn't have to worry about losing money on a purchase like this, the better move is to do as you did. ----------------------------- Guns are awesome because they shoot solid lead freedom.
