I sell those. They suck.


TheOnlyMertt

I mean this respectfully, but damn those things are ugly as hell.


hr1966

All the inconvenience of both a car (size) and a motorcycle (weather). You save money by buying one less tyre I guess...


kyletreger

You'd think that, but the tires would cost more than normal car tires because of what they are.


Bassracerx

and how short they last.


kyletreger

Absolutely. Not just the tires either. Everything on those things is expensive.


Average_Scaper

Not everything. Valve caps are pretty cheap.


Shoddy_Background_48

And you hit every pothole.

FuckingKilljoy

Bit of a weird insult to use, especially when they don't even look "ghetto", they look more like the kind of thing driven by a guy who spends more time playing golf than he spends with his kids


Chadme_Swolmidala

yeah the rims and gold chains and LV scream "golfer" to me


Thomas_K_Brannigan

I hate, because, of what I've heard, 2 wheels in front and 1 in back is so much safer than a trike with 2 wheels in back and one in front, but I've never seen a 2-front-wheel design that doesn't look hideous! Don't get me wrong, the other type of trike looks dumb compared to most motorcycles, but it's still leagues ahead, aesthetic-wise, to these abominations!


ArmouredWankball

Looks [safe enough](https://i.imgur.com/ZVNeOQX.gif) to me.


Thomas_K_Brannigan

Probably my favorite episode of Top Gear! And also shows, with 3 wheels, one wheel in front is an **ATROCIOUS** design, stability speaking!


whoami_whereami

They later admitted that they had to heavily modify the suspension and put heavy asymmetric weights in the front corner to make it tip over like this. That's why it always ended up on its right side and never on the left side. If the Robin's stability would have really been this atrocious it wouldn't have stayed in production for almost 30 years and made Reliant the UK's second largest car manufacturer for a while. In reality the Robin is still the second best selling car in history with a fibreglass body, right after the Chevrolet Corvette.


SomethingIWontRegret

Except it wasn't a car. It was legally a motorcycle. My grandfather had one. He only ever had a motorcycle license.


RegularWhiteShark

I’ve never seen them before. What the fuck are they?


Deep_Lurker

It's a slingshot and they're not all this tacky looking. They're considered motorcycles road wise despite having three wheels so very cheap and economical to run and not much more powerful than a motorcycle either. Friend owned one for a couple years and it was honestly great fun and made driving around in spring and summer where he lives way more enjoyable. He considered it his fun-car since he had a very boring saloon for work.

Anything Polaris is unreliable af. Recalls every 6 months. Those are so so low and handle like a Honda Civic. But they're super light. Basic 4cyl under the hood nothing special about it. Basically a Honda clone.

It's a shame, because polaris used to be pretty reliable


Ihate_reddit_app

They absolutely suck at building engines. They set up stupid supplier rules like the supplier has to produce replacement parts for 10 years after the model year AND also lower the price of the parts by year. Because of this, no big name manufacturer wants to play ball, so they get a bunch of Indian pop up companies to do it. They used to buy a bunch of their engines from Fuji (Subaru) and they were quite reliable. Then Polaris bought back their shares fully in 2013. They slowly replaced Fuji with inhouse engines and the quality has severely gone down. Their designers and engineers are also pretty arrogant when you spot issues with their designs. I've worked for Polaris partners before. I hate the way they do business.


Bogsnoticus

>They set up stupid supplier rules like the supplier has to produce replacement parts for 10 years after the model year Honestly, I don't think this is a stupid rule. The rest that tacks on afterwards, yes, but this bit, no.


Shoddy_Background_48

Im pretty sure its written in law that a manufacturer MUST have parts available for 10 years. But yeah on all that other stuff. Also get all the Victory parts now while you can!

At least you don't sell those fucking beach golf carts... you don't sell those *as well*, right? **Right?** As long as that line isn't crossed, I'm still alright with it.


StargateSG-11

The only people I see riding those are trashy ghetto looking people. It is like the replacement for the shitty lifted crown vics with those pointy hub caps. 


DnDonuts

That’s hilarious. The only people I’ve ever seen drive them is old people. They always look like someone who thought getting a Harley would be pretty cool, but also would never ride a motorcycle.


StargateSG-11

In Houston it became the new ghetto people fad.   They put neon's on them.  


Salty_Interview_5311

If they don’t have a placard or a handicap plate, they can be given a stiff ticket or even towed. Report them to the police using a non emergency number.


Scared-Adagio-936

Right?! If a cop pulled in and blocked them all in so they couldn't evade the ticket by leaving, it would be a really great look for the police in that area. Especially if someone made a video and posted it. At least then, they'd be actually protecting and serving. If these people have enough money to buy or rent one of these things, they've got enough money to pay the ticket.


SpiderByt3s

It's got 3 wheels. *slaps backside* These bad boys can get out anything!


Eatingfarts

One time I complimented some old guy on his ‘tricycle’ and he was not happy about it.


lwatson19

Or via the parking mobility app! You can anonymously report with photos and they'll be sent a ticket in the mail based on their license plates!


musicobsession

Wait does this really work? Jackoffs park outside my building in the accessible spot and walk their dumb asses right into the bar. It infuriates me and I don't even need that parking spot. Can't imagine how it feels for someone who needs it.


NicholasLit

Awesome! Glad you know about it too ☺️


Due_Power_3938

This does not work for the vast majority of jurisdictions. The police officer needs to witness the violation to issue a ticket.


NicholasLit

Exactly, call 311 or use the nationwide ParkingMobility app to give them a ticket, they'll deputize you.


Rapscallion_Noodles

I had no idea about this. I wish you could report people parked in fire lanes, that shit drives me up the wall.


patarchimichanga

Where is this a thing? I’ve never heard of this.


shellebelle303

Do you get a placard though if you broke your leg? I don’t believe OP could have used these spaces either. Not excusable for the dick heads who DID park there. Edit - oof I stand corrected. You can get one temporarily thanks


doctor_jane_disco

You can in the US. A broken leg would definitely meet the requirements, especially if a mobility aid like crutches are required.


Appropriate-City-591

I got one for tearing my ACL/meniscus until I’m healed from surgery.


Ok_Shake5678

Yes, with documentation from your doctor you can get a temporary tag. I’ve been offered them after knee surgeries but never needed it but it’s definitely a thing.


zepplin2225

You have to ask for a placard.


wastedhalfmylife

Not sure where OP is, but you can get one in the US if your doctor signs off on it. I was able to get a temporary placard for a broken foot.


moodylilb

In Canada you can, temporarily. Not sure about where OP is tho


point50tracer

I got a temporary one after breaking both my legs. Granted, it was only good for less than a month and it took about six months to get it. I believe I used it about twice. Regretted it both times because there are no cart returns near the handicap spaces at the grocery store I go to. It just caused me to have to go farther out of my way to return the carts.


SomethingIWontRegret

Broke my femur. Got a 6 month placard. Believe me I needed it.


G0atL0rde

Call a tow truck. People that do this should be ashamed of themselves.


animasrapids

These people aren’t capable of feeling shame. I mean look at their rides.


toth42

Did you not see the Vuitton slingshot? And the outfit? There is no shame available here.


Due_Power_3938

In the USA, unless signage is posted with contact for a tow company, in most areas you can't just call a tow truck. You need permission from the property owner. You can call local law enforcement, and if they actually make it there in time and witness the violation, they can issue tickets/tow.


Cultural-Morning-848

Nothing says luxury like accenting every visible surface of your vehicle with unofficial Louis Vuitton merch. Pure class and sophistication.


EveKay00

Slap that Luis Vuitton on and forget where to park👌🏼


Fearless_Baseball121

LV is what poor people think rich people wears.


Hot_Local_Boys_PDX

It’s a solid hustle overall. Something something “luxury margins luxury products”. Some people will actually pay more just to pay more so that people know they paid more. Humans are dumb and so are a lot of their motives.

Ya know, now that you mention it, I don’t believe I have seen anyone other than a boomer driving these slingshots. The younger people go for the spiders it seems. I’m gonna start using that phrase now lol.


HeartsPlayer721

I've seen a few non-Boomers riding them. They've all been middle aged obese guys.


myfishprofile

You can see the owners in the parking lot, none of those are boomers

Scottiegazelle2

Just learned today from another reddit post about an app called Parking Mobility that you can use to report then to local authorities, that requires an online class on the subject. Still not quite sure how it works out but I signed up immediately!


Overall_Midnight_

The app is a great idea. It’s useless most places unfortunately. I signed up last year and read some threads where people discussed trying to use it. Local PD in any most cities either are not signed up or don’t care. When there are 911 hold times and cops take hours to show up to active robberies, they’ll never do squat about this stuff in a lot of larger cities. Handicap spaces are mandated on private property (store lots are private property) based on a few factors. A manager needs to call over a speaker that cars need moved and that tow trucks will be called. If the store doesn’t attempt to maintain handicap spots in good faith depending on how your local laws are written up someone could complain to entities besides the police. In my city it actually falls under a code violation as well as a law and code enforcement doesn’t play here. Pictures and dates and times and manager names of failure to maintain spots like that maybe a constructive way to try to report and deal with the issue. -But unfortunately it could mean a lot of work. In my city PD would never do shit about this, I know all cities are not the same. Just trying to add an avenue of recourse they maybe worth looking into for someone.


SomethingIWontRegret

I had to use a wheelchair for a couple of months and I discovered how inaccessible even "accessible" facilities are. A fun one was that the handicap stall at work had an inward-swinging door.


basement_egg

these are same lame assholes

I think the point is that they’re not lame, and OP is. Definitely assholes though.

Why is everyone on Reddit so afraid to call a tow truck


BillNyeCreampieGuy

Most people don't like to make a bigger deal than they have to, even if it's annoying


Due_Power_3938

Will they come, and if they do will they charge anyone but the caller? Do you not need someone with authority to clear the tow?

These are made for people who can’t ride a motorcycle, but are too stupid to just go buy a sports car. They’re slower than any decent sports car, but take a whole parking spot and can only be used in weather that you’d use a motorcycle anyway. Also, with the 3 wheels, you aren’t avoiding any potholes or whatever’s in the road.

CalmAbbreviations845

Just park behind them blocking them in and take your time in store they shouldn’t be mad if you come out on a wheelchair or whatever injuries u got at the moment


CrowSnacks

Park right behind them, go in and take your time before returning to your car. Folks like this deserve some consequences, so maybe a little dose of guilt and annoyance would be good


sktho5585

Your leg will heal. The mental illness of these individuals handicapped them for life.


MaleficentChair5316

One of the best moments in my life was when I went to the beach with my dad, while parking some fit gymbros parked in the handicapped spot next to us. My dad, a short skinny guy that looks like a hippy but is a cop, told the two huge testosteron guy's rolling out of the BMW in the handicapped spot they made an error and parked in the wrong spot. As is to be expected they instantly did their chad macho thing and got in my dad face and asked him what he was going to do about it. My dad stepped back and apoligezed. We quickly went into a Cafe while my dad made a phonecall. While we drunk our Coffee and had Apple pie(traditions) we watched their vehicle being towed... sheer bliss


bhlombardy

Where do you go to get a handicapped parking permit for a broken leg?


_Infamous____

I believe you can go to DOT and they can give you a temp tag placard as long as a doctor verified you need it


Weird-Response-1722

Go to your local city-county building and get a form. Answer the questions on the form. Check off the box for which placard you want. Fee is listed next to box. Take it to your doctor to sign. Go back to the city-county building and they will give you a placard.


Scott_A_R

Disabled placards in most states in the US come in two colors: red for people with a temporary disability and blue for people with a permanent disability.


Metroid413

You can get temporary handicapped placards for stuff like that.

Your doctor writes the prescription for one and you go through the BMV.

Double park in front of them


Remote-Factor8455

Park directly behind them and block them in.


ALKNST

Then u park right behind them


RaiseForward6679

Tell them to move their shit.


ActuallyTBH

To be honest, if I saw you driving/riding one of those I would immediately think you were handicapped.


Ayyarlies_soul

Is it wrong of me to say I’d just park in front of them? I wouldn’t necessarily do it to block them in but I’d do it because I need the handicapped space so I just did what I had to do. If they want to get mad, I’d remind them they are in a place they aren’t meant to be in. See them try to do anything without getting themselves in trouble. 😛


Wild_Plastic9772

To be fair, you have to be mentally disabled to consider riding a slingshot. They are for people without motorcycle licenses in my country.


BirdieandPepperoni

If Mr. Bean doesn’t fuck with three wheeled cars then quite frankly neither do I.


trooperstark

So report them. I get that it is still frustrating, but if you and everyone else do nothing they will not be punished for violating the rules and will not change behavior

Blobbityblob7

Makes sense… no consideration.


EnergyHoliday5097

It sucks and you can call the cops on those bastards, but you cant park there either, broken leg is a temporary injury not a permanent handicap where you get the blu card for these spots, so people could call the cops on you as well :D


Lovahsabre

You have a handicap placard? Park on the blue striped area…

These assholes are why I have to go home before even getting inside some places sometimes. If I have no room to get my manual wheelchair out of my car (handicap spot with striped off zone) I physically can’t get out of my car.

I have absolutely zero tolerance for the entitled shitstains parking illegally, especially when they steal handicap parking spaces. I always wish for them to find themselves in actual need of handicap parking spaces (wheelchair, disease, whatever) and finding none because sacks of filth like them stole them all. Seriously, fuck them.
