OK, so it's a lame excuse to post a pic of my new toy, while staying "on topic"

What the heck is that????
Looks like an Arctic traveller-- please share some details, would like to know more-- age of vehicle, HP, manufacturer, and uses for it.

Wow... that's a really clean lookin' old Sno-Cat! Where did you come across that?? Ski resort somewhere close-by...

Very cool! Let's see some pictures of it and tell us more...

1978 Snow-Trac ST4. 1600 cc VW air cooled bug engine. Nominal 7 person... must be really good friends. Semi restored. Needs some TLC but functional. Supposed to get to near 20MPH on good snow. 0.75 PSI ground pressure with operator and 1000 lb load. Looks like fun. Hope it works. Several u-tube videos of similar units.

Got tired of bumming rides to mountain comm sites. Wife wants to go on outings already.

As a kid I had a Matchbox toy of that very same style Snow-Cat! Very cool!

I've got to find one of those. Just don't want to pay U$20 for it.

I wish I had that Matchbox toy; but it's long gone I hate to say.
