  1. Last place I had a huge driveway and plowed with a subcompact tractor and loader mounted blade. That kinda spoiled me. I had a small single stage that I used to do the sidewalk and other areas around the property. I now have a small driveway and a run of sidewalk at the new house. Thought I could get away with the single stage. This year has been a bit of a challenge as with all this snow I am running out of places my single stage can throw it to and of course the 2-3ft drifts the city plows leave me are a nice gift that I see now needs a better tool for the job..... Looking at an Ariens as they seem to be the best option. The only thing keeping me from pulling the trigger are the fucking stupid prices they now have on these things. My single stage that was $279 back in 2012 is now $799 and the large units are all around $2K..... May just decide to wait for spring sales.....
  2. Nice house. Is that an Arien's snowblower?
  3. That video had to be CGI with a fake voiceover. He gave that sled far too many compliments. I wonder if Doo is buying the Lester's better lunches than Poo these days. Afterall he was drinking a Perrier. It will still tip over every time you try to turn. Just looking at the triangles and the seating position it's clear that chassis is a complete ripoff of the Catalisp.
  4. How can you be so sure? Pageants are all about inclusiveness these days and it's getting harder to tell. The jawline is a bit suspicious.
  5. Had so much fun in the 90's on our Cats. Brother had a 99' ZRT.
  6. Here is a shot of the interior of the McLaren. It's really nice. The Ferrari 488 is going in for a tune in two weeks. Will take it to near 850HP. Will still get beat in the quarter by a plaid but after driving this car and hearing that engine wail at 8000RPM it's pointless to even mention the tesla in the same sentence.
  7. The blue one is a Range Rover Sport SVR.
  8. Just got back from a Texas trip. Normally not driving around the metroplex much when I go but this time I spent about 2 entire days driving. Holy fuck, Tesla's are everywhere you look. Even more prevalent than Jeeps which used to be like mosquitos (and still are) all around the city. Kinda' ironic since the only non-minivan vehicle left at National rent a hunk was a Gladiator, so I took it. Bad choice but that's another story for another time. I have nothing against electrics (other than range and practicality for my requirements) and acknowledge the selective performance benefits but they (Teslas) sure are ugly fucking things. Once you start seeing them everywhere and at all times it's just weird. Can't they design just a little more personality into these cars? They look like fucking drones going down the road in large numbers. And why can't Musk get that fucking roadster he promised like what 20 years ago now into production? At least you could have a shred of dignity racing and beating sports cars in something that looks like an actual sportscar and not a fucking blob of shit sedan. The trip was fun though. I was able to take a couple of rips in these two while I was there. I could give two shits what the plaid can do. I would still spend my cash on something that looks and sounds like a two seat performance car first.... Both of these sound so sweet. And yes, every fucking model 3 that I came across wanted to race, or take videos.
  9. That plane will crash before it makes the mainland....
  10. No, no, no, this was just a bunch of triangles and you cannot invent a triangle. Something that had already been invented. The catalyst on the other hand is supposedly made up of nonagons or some other shape yet unknown to man.... It's why you still can't buy one.
  11. Got the first shingles shot last month. Had a pretty bad fever for a couple of days and felt like crap but that's better than getting shingles. I know a couple of people that have had it and it really does suck.
  12. I think if a team makes the playoffs they deserve to be there. Both #12's have nothing left to prove in their old age. They are already established HOFs. I do think their time of being great is done. Once you lose mobility in the current league you are pretty much done. Sitting in the pocket and completing passes is not enough anymore. You have to hit targets and scramble when none of them are open. For any player like them they need to figure out a way to leave the sport with some dignity left and before it really gets ugly. Brady's day yesterday was about as ugly as it gets.
  13. Would be a shame if he becomes another Moss. The best thing for any really good Vikings player is to get traded so they have a shot at the ring. The Eagles look like the real deal this year and unless they have injury problems they will likely be playing for it. I am actually hoping the Bills can make again and finally win one. Lived there for a couple years during the Jim Kelly era. Congrats to the Lions fans. Goff is playing really good football right now.
  14. Living near and working in and around the twin cities for over 30 years has taught me one thing. Viking's fans are some fucking diehard sumbitches. Watching their teams stumble and fail for decades yet the fans are as rabid as any football fans I have ever seen or experienced first hand on the planet. They talk shit about packer fans all the time yet these fuckers have to be 100% batshit crazy to keep stepping up and rooting for a team that cannot produce championships. My daughter was a big Seattle fan mostly because of Wilson and Lynch so I bought some tickets to the Seattle playoff game. Yes, dumb enough to pay actual money to attend the 3rd coldest game in NFL history and freeze our asses off. My takeaway from this experience? Completely drunk off their asses viking fans deciding to harass my then 15 year old daughter because she was wearing her Lynch jersey and he was not even playing in that game. The feeling of complete and utter satisfaction when even though Seattle played like absolute dog shit in that game and then still beating those fucking half wits hallowed team in the last seconds. A memory my daughter and I still cherish and laugh our asses off about every football season. Sorry, forgot to add that it is no surprise that the Lions are favored in todays game.....
  15. Please get head out of ass. Prices are fucking higher on everything we buy but I guess if you find a sale on one particular item at one point in time that means the fucktards in DC are doing a bang up job.
  16. The gauge has always reported average MPH. Somewhere around 5 average because of having to stop and pull the sled around corners. That and most of the parking lot hero shit is normally done at low speeds.
  17. My daughter worked at Target two xmas seasons ago. If they see someone stealing they are told to just let them go. Everyone gets a pass on up to $1000 in theft before they start confronting habitual thieves. Everyone else that is paying for their shit is now paying for the fucking thieves shit as well. Of course it is reported as a loss for tax purposes but then they just raise prices to cover the losses. The stores are not losing money just everyone of us that shops and pays.
  18. They certainly dumped dealers that were underperforming but those that I know were great dealers and had sold shitloads of Cats over the decades dumped Cat because of their shitty support and poor warranty claim reimbursement.
  19. This is why I always have to get off the sled and pull them around corners. You must have missed that post. I've been doing this since 2005.
  20. The reason there are so many complaints about how doo's handle is because there have been so many of them on the trails. More sleds, more idiots. Almost every handling issue is because some think you need MORE Carbide, MORE Traction, MORE stiffness in the suspension, MORE EVERYTHING. Crank the son of a bitch to infinity then complain about how the thing has hard steering, won't corner, won't transfer, and rides like a fuckin' buckboard.
  21. Correct. It is impossible to take a corner on a Doo. Straight line riding only which is a bummer because there are only corners where I ride. I am used to just riding up to corners then get off the sled, pull the ski's around get back on and ride to the next corner. It's still fun though, keeps me in shape. Really hard to do 200 mile days like this though......
  22. All of it, all the time. My sled corners like it's on rails so no need to ever let off and keep the turbo spooling at all times. Sled is also playful when at full boil, roosting and cat walking.....
  23. Did I hear Gunter in that video say fucksconn several times? It's good to see the reporters far more concerned about apple's earning's than those poor people's absolutely shitty lives...... Maybe fucksconn can move production to that giant empty plant here in WI.
  24. Just a quick question for the big pharma vax loving dipshits. Since not one of you defenders of this shit will admit to this shit continuing to do damage to Americans, it must be out of it's experimental phase by now right? I mean, how the fuck can this completely harmless shit still be considered experimental at this point? According to all you numbnutz defenders it has been administered to billions and is completely harmless.
