[W126 Coupe] Way Off Topic: Big Block Snowblowers

[Hein]

LOL,
I'm typing this in bed from under a 40 foot drift as I have twisted what feels like seventeen lumbar vertebra while trying to dig my way out of my garage......with a Grizzly.

I really should have had my wife take a few pictures as I would back the grizzly up as far as I could (4x4 with diff-lock in the on position) and then run as fast as she would go into the snow drifts. The grizzly and I was covered in snow, but we got the job done.....in about three hours.

The local news just stated that we have had over 70 cm of snow over the weekend

I'm not proud of it, but yes I got my 240HP 1132cc Arctic Cat snowmobile stuck in my yard yesterday. To understand how hard it is to get that thing stuck, understand that it has a 154 inch track with 2" lugs and I never had it stuck before. Wherever I would point her nose in the hills, there she would go. I outran two of my friends on ZR900's last year.....I was in front breaking the trail through powdery snow and they were sitting behind me in my tracks and falling back.

I tried to beat down the drifts so that the grizzly could deal with it, but it was so powdery that I drove her nose first into a ten foot drift. Being crazy, I thought that I could try and dig a tunnel right through it....didn't work

I must say that it is kind of amazing driving down a four lane street and feeling like you are in a channel. The city snow clearing machinery left 6 to 10 foot walls on the sides of the streets.

Now I need wider skis on my snowmobile.....hmmmmm
...and wondering about those ATV Cat Tracks that take the place of wheels for the Grizzly.

Bellamy, that Vortech supercharger looks some good....can't wait to have her sing the big block tune ;-)
