    The Polaris Slingshot is really weird -- and today, I'm going to check it out. First I'm going to take you on a tour of the Polaris Slingshot, and I'm going to show you all the quirks and features of the Slingshot -- then I'm going to drive it and review the driving experience of the Polaris Slingshot.

      I stopped paying attention to the DougScore after a while. Cars should be celebrated and/or respected by what they are intended to do, and whether each one suits its intended purpose well. Marking the qualities anathema to the car's purpose just seems to unnecessarily highlight its bad points, like how "practicality" causes naturally impractical cars to score low in the DougScore.

And you're right, the "Doug Score" is just based on Doug's opinions, and people obviously have different opinions and sometimes I disagree with them, but I am still always interested in the quirks and features of the cars he reviews.

She was his new bride of 2 years (IIRC), a former teacher (or, professor, perhaps) with a real sense of adventure (as is clear from both the Slingshot and the new husband who drives it).

    I grew up riding ATVs, dirt-bikes, etc. and the lightning symbol for the starter button is paying homage to Polaris roots because that is the symbol used on their off-road vehicles to start them. It is a lightning bolt indicating it is electric start because most quads and dirt-bikes you have to manually start with a kick-start.

    This thing is made for renting out. Plus I like Doug's new hairdo with the wind blowing it back.
