That I do not understand. Why wouldn't they?

To quote the Warden in Cool Hand Luke, "What we've got here is a failure to communicate."

That sounds reasonable, but Slate is bound to us assuming they stay in business, and we did put down $50 in earnest money. A contract of sorts has been created digitally. Which is even better than an oral contract. If a written contract is all it takes Slate should jump on this and mail us...

If it applies to our deposit this is great news. Tax Credit Loophole

Outstanding! When I was in Armor Officer Basic at Fort Knox, Kentucky in 1969, the OH-58 Kiowa (the Bell Jet Ranger for civilians) was being tested. I volunteered to be a passenger on one of the test flights. The pilot was a Vietnam vet and made it a memorable experience.

After searching the Internet in 2023 for a rare 2021 Nacho Gladiator I found one at a dealer in Manheim PA. They shipped it to me in East Texas with dealer paper plates and sent me the title. My neighbor's German Shepherd Dog followed the Fedex driver to my house when I was not home and took...

In 1974, I bought a used Saab Sonett, an aerodynamic sports car. The silhouette and orange color bore a striking resemblance to the new Datsun 240Z. At that time there was a popular commercial for 7-Up, the uncola. So I got a custom license plate, THE UNZ. People would ask me, what is an...

Best laid plans of mice and men often go awry. In 1968, I bought a car while in Kansas during my summer break from Texas A&M. Had Texas license plates shipped to me and after I entered Texas on my way back for the fall semester, got pulled over and ticketed for having no Texas inspection...

Here in Texas license plates can be ordered in advance. Why pay extra? What is wrong with temporary paper plates? I thought this was going to be a custom plate idea thread. In Texas we have 7 digit plates. Here is my choice. WATTSUP

In 1974, a car magazine compared the new and novel Honda Civic to the Colt Peacemaker. I promptly went out and bought one. After 120,000 miles I sold it to a man who planned to drive to Nicaragua where it would become a taxicab. It is still my favorite vehicle of all time. But I digress...

My grandchildren would get a hoot out of riding around on the property in the Subaru Brat configuration.

If it takes longer to go into production maybe next year we will get a T-shirt.

The poll is now closed. 44 made the $50 deposit. 3 did not make a deposit. Thank you for playing. Additional comments are welcomed, as if I could stop you.

My Slate will be powered by free sunlight. The utility company gives me credit for the energy provided by my solar panels.

I am closing this poll today. I screwed it up and cannot change choices, only add additional ones. I may try it again later.

Okay. Thank you for that The Slate Forum indicates there are: Members 1,192 So, only 27% of forum subscribers are in the tracker. Even if a similar number of subscribers are depositors who have not added themselves to the tracker, that would still mean that about half of the forum...

I am aware that there is a list on this forum. But my understanding is that it is not the official Slate reservation list. They are volunteers and accordingly the list does not include everyone who has actually made a deposit. Likewise, this forum does not require a Slate deposit in order to...

Just curious, how many people participating in this forum have actually made the $50 deposit.

Doh! Thank you for that.

According to the forum software XenForo a poll function can be added by forum administrators. I've always been puzzled why companies pay marketing research firms to conduct panels with 12 people when an enthusiast forum has thousands for free.
