Curious if anyone has checked one of these out.

Crap.

I was expecting this fine Can Am from '77.  Lemans w/ a T/A 6.6 & shaker.  Ltd production.  Kinda neat.

I guess I prefer the 4 wheel over the 3 wheel.  The 3 wheel sounds like an interesting thing, though.  Just not my deal.

That Pontiac Can Am is awesome.

Not sure about the 3-wheel deal either.

Ironically enough... saw one of the 3 wheelers today at Racetrac filling up.

Hard to get used to seeing the thing...  and had a woman riding it (not an issue).

Just a weird looking beast.

Don't know about the long term viability, but I guess there's something for everyone...

It rides nice and has some balls.  New for 2009 is the color red and an electronic clutch.
