That was great. Do your neighbors know about Crashy? They'll come knocking on your door.

Fortunately, they are used to my wackiness, so although Crashy turns heads, it's kind of expected for me.

That was awesome. The only thing for you to do is to make the side to side adjustments automatic instead of manual. Saves you the trouble of getting off your seat to make the adjustments.

Hahahaha!!! That's a good idea!

Maybe Crashy can earn her keep and do the neighbors' driveway, too.

You always seem to amaze me CTScott. I have to show this to people at The Home Depot...lol

I think the Yaris is capable of doing much more than a transport vehicle...even w/the 90 whp

My tractor is only 12 HP. The Yaris feels like a Mack truck in comparison.

I'm definitely planning on that. I have a nice gear reduction motor that I'm going to rig up.

dude, too bad that i have no possible chance of getting my echo back after it got totaled... mine would have worked for a similar project, and this works extremely well... people in my class were hating saying that it would not work, and now i get to show them this video and prove that the idea was sound

I can't tell you how many friends of mine swore that there was no way that a front wheel drive car could possibly push a plow. They changed their tune last week after they had to shovel their own driveways because the snow was too wet and heavy for their snowblowers.

I can't wait for when Crashy gets a fording kit and paddles its way across a pond. If she sinks, at least you won't have to kick out the windows!

AND...there is the potential for a monster storm this weekend but the forecasters aren't committing to it as of yet. Anywhere from a dusting to a potential 2 feet on some simulators.
