Plot twist: Doug is the owner of CNC Motors

"I've borrowed this car from CNC Motors, where I now live."

-*Doug is the type of guy to give you the shirt off his back because he's got four more under it*

Middle screen looks like stolen ATM

“Same engine as the Chevy Cobalt.” Finally, my car has something in common with a car featured on this channel.

A guy in my neighborhood drives one while wearing a Batman mask.

when you want a motorcycle but your wife tells you "No, it's too dangerous!l

Doug is the type of guy to scare himself while trying to scare someone

Weird 2 door G Wagon pulls over in parking lot CNC motors: Ah shit here we go again

"The key is a like a regular key, but the Slingshot logo is like this absurd triangle thing.... " Doug, it's a slingshot. 🤦

They are amazingly fun. It is important to note, you may not have noticed there are huge luggage compartments behind each seat. Storage space is far more than one would expect. You also forgot to mention that it has a backup camera! They're more practical than a motorcycle, but of course not as much as a car. But they're WAY more fun.

12:37 You can change the speedometer to kph, that's why it's going up to 220. Also, that's why the numbers above 120 are way smaler.

"I wouldn't really call it a car because it has 3 wheels" *- Reliant Robin wants to know your location*

Look at lil Dougie there, driving his open-top car with no sunglasses on like someone who's never been hit by a stone. Or a bee.

Doug: "Okay I'm gonna step on it".... face begins to peel off in response.

My dad and I talked about this car ONE TIME... ONCE and now it's all over my recommendation everywhere. We cant go anywhere without being watched or being listened too

Nobody: Absolutely nobody: CNC Motors: the guy with 3 million subs and 3-dollar outfit is here Edit: I love you, Doug. Please don't change.

Government: everyone stay at home! Doug:THIS is my home(pointing at cnc motors).

I don’t like this Dougscore layout now. I preferred it when you would say every category & list the score.

"I wouldn't classify it as a car because look at it, it has three wheels!" Robin Reliant: Am I a joke to you?

CNC: He's back! Quick, hide!

Doug the type of guy to know every single car's turn signal stalk design in automotive history

me: hello, tire dealer? yeah, i'd like to order a brand new set of michelin pilots for my ride! dealer: got it, four new michelin pilots... no problem, sir! me: uhhhh ahhh no, not 4 tires, only 3 please... dealer: *crickets*

The Polaris Slingshot: Lacks the fun of a motorcycle, while also lacking the practicality of a car. Truly the worst of both worlds

“These are pretty cheap, 20k new. This one is a couple years old and much cheaper.” Listed for $19,950

*Doug:* "Hi, guys!" *CNC Motors:* "Okay, but are you ever going to BUY anything!?!" *Doug:* "Nah. Too many quirks and features to choose from."

I love the look on Doug's face wen he says "and it comes to life"🤣

A lot more fun than it looks like. I've always ridden motorcycles, and still found this a ton of fun! Sounds great and rear wheel will squeel when shifting in 2nd gear.

17:58....😁😁😁. -Hey Doug,are you hungry? -Doug: No, i'm ok!I ate a few big bugs while driving this thing without a helmet and i'm full!!👍

19:42 "Hey Doug, wanna go grab some lunch?" Doug: "Actually I just swallowed a big junebug, I'm not really hungry."

I live in central Florida and I see an old dude driving one of these like every other day

I can't imagine a situation where you'd have to hood open while driving

I always see these where I live. It’s mostly boomers who were bikers “back in the day”

Guys at CNC every morning: -Goddamn Jim it's that DeMuro guy again, lock the door! -Too late John, he's already in... DOUG: Thiiiiis is me! Gimme some of your inventory!

You see these a lot in the summer in Times Sq usually in large groups riding along with motorcycles. They are tricked out and have music blasting from custom speakers trying to flex. Great video Doug!

Using this as a daily driver in Alaska would fit Jocko's definition of "Getting after it"

doctor: “you have 21 minutes and 30 seconds left to live” me:

Baby Doug: k-k-ke-wer Dougs Parents: Honey! He’s about to say his first words! Baby Doug: k-kwirk *Quirks and features*

1:33 Van: Aight imma head out

My neighbor bought a new 2023 modal this spring, it is now December and he no longer has it, he wrecked it. He is 76 years old and thought they would be fun, but didn't realize a $40,000 vehicle with three wheels would be a little tricky to keep on the road. Lucky he came out un hurt but the Slingshot was destroyed. I am the same age and will just stay with my 1986 Goldwing. LOL

My neighbour has one of these (Ontario, Canada). He takes out his handicapped son in it and straps his wheelchair to a roll cage he has installed on it.

CNC: has a cool car Doug: *It’s Free Real Estate*

Doug: This, is a Polaris slingshot. JoergSprave: Did somebody say slingshot? Let me show you it's features. Doug: And quirks, and then we're gonna give it a Doug score.

I was debating getting a rav4 vs a Polaris slingshot. That Doug score changed my mind.

CNC: Doug: licking the locked glass entrance door CNC: jesus christ, go review the motorcycle car thing... Doug: schnozberries!!

Everyone stuck at home: Quarantined Doug releasing more than one video the same week: THIS! Is a..

This has to be the edgiest golf cart i've ever seen.

all 'motorcycles' must have headlights illuminated at all times while operating on a public roadway to make them more noticeable to other drivers. That's why there isn't a light switch on this.

CNC motors: Ok so what car do you want this time? Doug: *I never said I came for a car.*

2 t-shirts Denim shorts and, THISSSSSSSSSS You guessed it right I'ts DOUG

7:43 It's a standard motorcycle starter button label ;)

Doug just kills it as a 'Virtual Salesman' for CNC....nice arrangement

Who else misses old doug score read outs? Made me feel like a "Guess the score" game

Doug: pulls up to the CNC motors lot CNC motors: Ah shit, here we go again

On the topic of the speedometer: it can be electronically switched between displaying speed in mph or kph, hence the seemingly large scale. The old Victory motorcycles, and the new Indian motorcycles, (both brands also owned by Polaris,) had the same speedometer function.

Doug's the type of guy who will catch Coronavirus and then will come back " And now, it's time for the Doug score"

Doug looks like an Italian mobster when the wind hit his hair. Great look man 😂

Doug before driving the Slingshot: 🧑🏻 Doug after driving the Slingshot: 💨👨🏻‍🦲

The Rebel Doug Demuro breaking helmet laws like a true OG!😈😈😈

I used to have one of these, had to sell it when I got my first car. Sure do miss it, lots of fun.

Can we appreciate how beautiful the sky is while he’s driving it? Talk about a nice day, man that would have been a fun drive.

As a 2016 Slingshot SL owner, I've waited a while for your review. Very accurate, even if a little brief. I did not know about the Volvo turn signal. I believe you were very kind about the steering, as the steering is generally loose and the brakes are usually soft. Much like old 60's roadsters and perhaps just as bumpy on the ride. Of course, you can upgrade these to suit your tastes. You probably got a better acceleration from your review car as it had a cold air intake, which changes throttle response greatly. It improved response so much on the 2016, I almost did not upgrade the exhaust. Remapping the computer is not simple, as you have to send it off, or maybe shops exist now. The empty switches above the traction control switch are easy to pop out and replace for your own accessories. I have my amps and bling lighting setup in such a way. The stock seats are uncomfortable as all hell after a 300 mile drive, BUT they are indestructible, and VERY dog friendly. A tall windshield is nearly a must-have and if you live in a place with much sun, one of the add-on roofs is worth the cost. Even with the roof, you will burn your ass on the seat, and if you replaced your gearshift knob with a steel version, you will burn your hand. Speaking of the stock seat again: it's designed to drain water, although you won't like this so much if you are driving while this is happening. You take more rain in the face than you do on a motorcycle, which is rather odd, and you also take rocks to the face, as you would normally take rocks to the legs on a motorcycle. The windshield is a must, but a good pair of sunglasses and goggles are essential. Another oddity that might have been great to cover: the battery. It's in the worst location possible, behind the driver storage compartment, next to the rear wheel. Many people add battery terminal extenders so you can jump start from the storage compartment as it's not exactly fun to take the battery out. Due to the always-on headlights, there is always a chance you will have a run-down. Many people elect to mod the headlights to a switch, which seems like a reasonable thing to do. Finally, the optimistic speedometer: they do make a LS3 conversion for the slingshot. They also make a two-wheel rear conversion. Should these mods be performed, the speedometer isn't quite so funny... not that anyone would dare look at it due to the fear of mortal peril as you step on the gas. I would love to see a review of those mods, the comedy would be priceless. Good review, fair score. I hope you review the other autocycle types out there. I can afford none of them but always fun to see.

There is probably an option to switch from MPH to KPH. Speedo numbers are probably if set to go by KPH. Having driven one, it is very fun to drive and handles excellent.

When Doug is speaking I keep thinking, if he had en English accent, he would be doing a Jeremy Clarkson impression.

17:58 now that's a face of a man who owns a Ford GT!

Hey doug, you missed the backup camera and the helmet storage behind the seats!

17:55 Doug the type of guy to swallow a fly.

The new Slingshot has a Polaris engine with a healthy horsepower bump, it’s a shame you didn’t test one of those

19:30 I was starting to worry that Doug wouldn't mention his height

Corona isolation got me being 6 seconds on time to a Doug video.

From the interior, for some reason it looks like it's a huge, high-end golf cart. I actually love the golf carts' design, with smaller wheels and an open cabin with or without a roof, but I think it's cool they carried parts of that over to cars.

interesting review especially looking to the quirky world of car/motorcycle cross vehicles, as a motorcyclist I could see numerous quirks from the moto world in it such as no headlight switches, the motorcycle license plate attachment, and the belt drive. Really surprised Doug didn't cover the belt drive

The “THIS” gets more and more aggressive 😂😂

When you take a dragonfly to the eyeball at 45 mph , you will learn to put on glasses or a helmet.

Doug is the type of guy who knows all of CNCs staffs partners birthdays

The symbol on the ignite button is the basic symbol for ignite buttons all over motorcycles and such. Funny how Doug sometimes lacks the knowledge of such basic information about motor vehicles

Why no more “starting with the weekend category...” 🥺

When there's CNC in the thumbnail you know the comments are gonna be good

Ominous hummer just watching Doug in the background Lots hummers out today huge blowout

I like it when Doug comments, “even a normal person like me you can drive it “. I don’t know too many normal people who drive a different car every day.

CNC management: Doug we're closin dow - Doug : THIIIISSSSSSSS

Polaris lobbied hard to create the "autocycle" category so you don't need a helmet or a motorcycle license to drive it (in several states)

You lost me when you said: "borrowed from General motors" 😂

Doug. Your score system is just. It's something

I believe the "optimistic" speedometer has a dual use for kph, hence the large scale. Same speedo with different gearing and you can sell it in Canada. Very practical.

This is one of those vehicles I would never buy, but I'm still glad it exists

There is storage behind the seats too. And some of them have backup cameras.

7:56 I own a 2000 Volvo S70 (Volvo 850 successor) and when you looked at the turn signal, I paused the video and said Hey! That's the turn signal from my car!

Doug the type of guy to drive his Slingshot backwards so it looks like a Big Wheel.

I have owned my for 3 years and love it. I watch most of Doug's reviews and he is spot on as far as assessments go. The Slingshot is a Tuners vehicle as well as a retiring Motor Cyclist. The Fun factory is unmatched for the price point. If anyone goes to my channel you can see for yourself.

Doug the type of guy to put his intro word for word in the description

to me its great for us old guys that use to ride 2 wheels but have a bad leg or foot or balance issues

Prof. Douglas, Why did you stop including the breakdown of your Doug Scores? I think that’s content that everybody misses. Sincerely, Austin

I actually took one of these on a two day road trip and I little quirk I found is the exhaust is very close to the cup holder so it would boil anything you were drinking, the newer ones come with heat sheilds

“I actually find this to be a lot of fun! Although it is not something I would want to do often…” Lol classic.

Thank you for the review.

Fun fact: DF Kit Cars, the company that makes the DF Goblin, released a 4 wheel conversion kit for the slingshot! It converts the belt driven rear wheel with a diff and axle.

Doug: i borrowed this car.... Me: yeah yeah yeah, CNC MOTORS, we know. Lol.

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.

The logo is a flux capacitor 🤣
