The thread showing a Polaris RAZR for surveying made me think of this. Saw one of these in the parking lot at the Chinese restaurant at noon Tuesday. First one I had ever seen.

Wichita, Kansas has a dealer, so I see quite a few. Took a test ride and the the salesmen was showing me how quick they are. The little Chevy 4 cylinder in that light vehicle is almost scary. Glad the brakes worked well as he was doing 60 in city block and had to slam on the brakes at each intersection.
I see them out on the island quite a bit! they look like a blast!
$19,999 and up. Bet no one has ever bought one for under $20,000 new.
I prefer the T-Rex myself https://campagnamotors.com/ as you sit a lot lower. and then for more bucks, you could get a Palatov D2 https://www.palatov.com/cars/d2/ which is just way better. My Ariel will smoke either 3 wheeler, but, the Palatov's are very fast. The cottage car industry is actually kind of big these days.
For the low price the Slingshots are hard to beat for just fun
If you're into turning angular designs (what surveyor wouldn't be?), there's the Austrian offering : http://www.ktm.com/x-bow/
Fun in the right environment. I won't be getting in one that's on a public road - too low and hard to see.

I thought those went out of production. Good to see them back
