Funny Greenspeed Review "Greenslow GTO"
Monkey Island Times GREENSLOW GTO Review "For the Fat Ass that wants to lounge around outside as slowly as possible" You May recall the carefree feeling of sitting around on a hot summer day in your barcolounger, watching the neighborhood wedgies wiz by on the street while perched in your back yard. You may have thought to yourself, "Crap, I'd like to get out and their and show those upwrongs a thing or two, but I can't get my lazy fat ass out of this chair!" Now you can scorch those poseur Lance wannabies without leaving the comfort of your favorite article of furniture! It's Greenslow's new GTO Model. Greenslow has been in the business of making clydesdale-tough mobile loungechairs for the waistline challenged since the invention of the Big Gulp. Their engineering, craftsmanship, and quality control is unmatched. For instance, Dick Downunda, Greenslow's QA assurance chief, notes, "We have this punter named Lionel. He's a 200 kilo championship stunt triker. Lionel takes each Greenslow of the assembly line, then bunny hops speed bumps in the local strip mall parking lot. We use this kind of stress testing procedure to ensure that the GTOs are still capable of withstanding the punishing abuse that our larger American customers are capable of." We don't want to let our Greenslow rep do all the talking, (Ed Note: we make the trikes sound more appealing to our readership than there best ads possibly could.) so I'll give you more of a biased, in-depth review. I love this trike. This is the best trike in the world, besides the one we reviewed last month. Forget that one, it's just as good, but this one is really good this month. It's fast too. It's maybe two turtledoves faster than the older GTPO model, and it's definetly five nick-nacks faster than DogTrike's latest Slow-N-Go model. I would say that the handling is "goo-ey". You slog your ass through turns, and Greenslow has even included an "Anti-Roll" safety device. Basically, it's a dump-truck suspension spring that has 500lb./sq. inch resistance. It pops out of either side of the hubs when a roll is detected, instantly bouncing the rider safely back on all 3 wheels. The only downside of the Greenslow GTO is that it only includes an "X-tra Large" cup holder. We contacted Greenslow about this critical oversight, and their reply was, "Our product research dept. dropped the ball on that feature. We were not aware of the latest Gallon Gulp beverage size at the time of design. We will include the new Mega Large cup holder on next year's model." Can't beat that kind of customer satisfaction! The Seat Angle is also agressively reclined. You may not be able to see over you own massive belly when reclined this far back, but the GTO comes equipped with a 2-ton seat stay/car jack, in case you'd like to ratchet yourself out of the GTO when you are parked at the local Burger Joint, or just to reduce recline to see over the gut. Overall, the Greenslow GTO is one hell of a trike. It can't compare with some of those Quad-Sofas in comfort. If you are planning your next epic trek across the county line, you may want to consider the Greenslow. It doesn't come cheap. Think of it this way; it's just like ordering the Biggie Value Meal ... you pay more, but you oh so much more satisfied.
