The key to driving on REAL ice or snow. (Circa: 1924)
 
I found the perfect design that eliminates just about every traction problem we have discussed! (Rover wheels definitely NOT included though.) :p

In fact, I may just get one of these for myself since the darn Groundhog saw it's shadow, & winter is going to last 6 more weeks!

I'll be happy to take some of your weather! It's been like 80 degrees here for the last 2 weeks! ... We never even really got a winter :(

Trust me, you haven't missed much.

If that thing could somehow strafe, it would be the single most amazingest drive design I've ever seen. 2-wheel mecdrive FTW.

Is that legal on the road? If so, that would be awesome.

I've noticed old snow vehicles showing up in various threads on various automotive forums I visit, too.....

Must be a lot of snow this winter!
