Amazing.

WOW - a dream come true.  It looks like that would throw the snow TWO houses over!                   18 degrees

Maybe it just looks big because the women pushing it is like 3'9" tall.

Wow, awesome!

But, what's that big red thing in front of her?

Here is the complete story on this monster...

Why can't I post a direct link? 

Anyway, here is the link.

Real nice machine.... for the multi-millionaire who has everything but wants to clear snow himself. A bit of overkill.  lol

I noticed the auger blades extend far beyond the housing  which is the way they designed snow machines in the US years ago.
That would prevent snow from falling on the housing when snowfalls exceeded  the height of the intake chute.

The disadvantages would be safety and accidentally chopping the bottom of your concrete stairs.

I have always had a thing for Asian women; but me and the two of them together......WOW!

Some things are Priceless.

I saw a brochure for this last year.

1. The engine runs a generator which charges the battery and powers the two electirc motors, one for each track;
2. The auger housing automatically adjusts its hieght when you go into reverse.
3. You stear with the big joysick on top.
4. The chute direction and angle are adjusted electrically via a joystick.
5. If the machine comes under too much load it automatically slows down its foward speed.

Looked like something with an awful lot of things that could break.

Anyone have a price? Think they will come out with an Acura model?

This blower is still my favorite: 4 wheel drive hydraulic skid steer, 400+ HP, etc

"Looked like something with an awful lot of things that could break." ....  It could, but I'll bet it wont!  >>> Got a Acura (Honda) car and several previous Honda cars, an a Honda motorcycle.  Nothing ever broke on these things!  Many times it can look fragile on somes ways, but nothing is over done and everything is well done.  It's simply superior ingeneering! 

Awsome!

Werd, what acura you got? My baby:

 Whould like to show you... but how can I add a picture to the post ??? 

By the way: Really nice car !

ThanksDon't want to digress to much but basically you find a site to host your images(photobucket, putfile, etc), upload them, and then click the image button in this window(mountai with yellow backdrop). There is also an image code, don't know what it is for this forum but is usually [img*](your image)[/img*] without the *s  I also recomend acurazine.com

I'll try!

Thanks

np

Don't like the idea of giving my email to "photobucket". I read their policy, and they says that they could use my email for mailing publicity contents. Don't like that...

Sorry, no picture.

It's a Acura Integra 2001...They don't make cars like this anymore.

But my real baby is my Honda Interceptor 2004. My lady in red!

My snowblower is an Ariens 1332 DLE.  I hown it for five years now and I'm still tortured by the Honda track drive model. Should I baught it or do I have the better machine of the two... Still tortured by that question...

All that engineering and they still refuse to put of handle bars on their machines that an adult can use without bending over.

Marc

That's true!

I guess they took their mesurments on the average adult Japaneese height ! 

I never read that photobucket thing, i get tons of junk mail anyway. Just make a free yahoo account for it(If I were you I would be too lazy to do that, I hate filling crap out).

How tall are you guys that require leaning over for the honda machines?

Its not cool to post pics of other peoples cars and post them as your own. Sure it may be in your family but the title is not in your name nor do you pay insurance for it.

I notice you have something against me. Would you prefer I call it "ours"? My dad was going to get another used ford so I convinced him to get this instead. It registered in my parents name and when I get my licence I will be insured under it. I MAY also get it as a colledge/military gift as when I leave for colledge a new AWD model will be out.

Like your kia?

BBgarage wrote:

Thats better :D

And no I dont drive a Kia, but thanks for assuming.

No Problem.

I would also like to add that it could still be MY BABY, and not actually be owned by me. For example, is your boyfriend actually your child?

In that case I guess every car in my household is MINE as well, and so is my friends because I know them. Cool, I guess I will go posting up on diff forums showing off cars that arnt mine, excellent.

Must be nice to have parents hand me down cars to their children.  

So when you were in highschool you were homeless? If I am one of the people registered to the car I think it counts as partly mine...

BBgarage wrote:

No I lived in "my parents home." I didn't pay the bills, or put food on the table. I simple lived there under their roof and enjoyed it.

But YOU didnt HAVE a home, you stayed in someone elses. So, you were homeless, like I am currently carless. Did you invite your friends over to your house, or your parents house? "Hey guys, wanna come over to my parents house?"

I didn't think so.

Now I chose this car, actually cut down on my weekly lunch allowance(initally, though they soon forgot) as incentive for them to pay more than they initially were going to. I chose the colors, I chose the dealer, I send quote requests out to all the local dealers. I told my parents what price to argue. I also went online and did crap loads of research. In return I WILL be one of the people who has their name under the cars registration.

Get the point yet?

Congradulations. Maybe I should try that on my parents next time. "Hey mom and dad, I was thinking, we can get a really nice Porsche at this dealership for a great price, I did some research. Oh and can you put my name on the reg, cause I will be driving it mostly..."

Like I said must be nice to have parents buy you a car

How old are you?

Oh, and I didnt convince my father to spend 50-70k more than he was going to, only 10, which was easy with my moms help.

 84 yrs old and counting.

My grandparents certainly don't know what a subwoofer is.

They're not hip to be square

And I have no idea what that means

How do we say "moi non plus" in english?

"Me either" i think.

But you are funny guys!  

Hey Loudsubz, you are more perspicace (can I say that?) than me. I have to conceide this. I never realized that was someone elses car , sorry i mean partly someone elses car!

Just kidding!  

Sorry, I don't speak canadian....

I borrowed money ONCE in my life....$600 for a 1965 Dodge Coronet with a blown head gasket. 
My Dad charged me interest....I thought it was a lesson in the value of money.

It was French! ....... not Canadian!

I also speack Spanish and Italian ..... but dont write it well.

My mother language is French.

He might have meant "Canadien" a.k.a. Quebecois, the version of French spoken in La Belle Provence.

Yah....Thats what I meant

    " the version of French spoken in La Belle Provence.   "    ... and in some parts of Ontario, Manitoba, Nova Scotia and New Brunswick...

     Well, somebody well inform!  Cool!
