Ok, so im on Tatooine when i get a tell asking if i would slice his Speeder bike. And i told him that you can't slice vehicles. So then he responds with "Yes you can, my friend did it. lol." After he said that, i was like
So, the question is, can you slice vehicles? This was buggen me for the rest of the day, because i didn't know if he was a BoBo, or if i am a BoBo. So please let me know.

I'm 99 % sure you can't slice vehicles. This was something the devs were considering for the revamp.

I'm 100% sure we can't, and as far as I know the dev's were never even considering it, we merely suggested it. Even if we COULD slice vehicles it would NEVER be for speed because that is a closely guarded balance thing that they're not gonna mess with. If we were able to slice them for speed then they'd have to slow normal ones down. You can imagine how well that would go over.

Ooops, I must've been mistaken... it was a community idea, not a dev consideration.

Hey, no biggie. We've been tossing ideas around so long that they're just referred to as "Duh Stuff." that would make you think they ARE a change and not somethign we've been hoping/asking for since launch. 
However it's just good to correct these misconceptions as you can see by the original posters story how that sort of misaprehension can become "legitimate."
One person makes a perfectly understandable mistake and ten morons later they heard it from the dev's themselves, or, more commonly, saw their brother/friend do it. It's like the telephone game.

i would love the ability to slice spam bots and make them attackable, or atleast get them to shut up

Heh. Who wouldn't?
But you can slice them for silence.

Now, I don't know what a BOBO is- but that dude TOTALLY sounds like a BOBO to me. A Bobo that's pullin' your chain in fact because you CANNOT slice vehicles.
