'40 Ford Kit - Not a Snowmobile
« on: December 20, 2009, 07:11:07 pm »
As usual, Mike took the '40 Ford Kit to work yesterday....  Headed home at around 5pm....  Took his normal route.... Streets had not been plowed.... Eventually discovered that a lowered fat-tired Vdub could not make it through the 12+ inches of fresh powder....  Tire Spin, Tire Spin.... "Abandoned" the car safely at the curb on a Cherry Hill residential street for the night.

He and his brother returned this evening to dig it out and get it home.  Fully plowed-in with no yellow showing.........  She's now safe and sound in our garage, no worse for wear....

Any kit car ( short of a snow plow on a hummer ) makes a lousey plow!
