Re: Black on black.......... NO, .......Black on Ice
I saw Range Rovers with an almost identical triangular tread system back in Victorian snowfields in early 90's.

Saw this in Wallace, Idaho last year. There were two or three of them there.

You would be the man on this subject (and all vehicles that are terrifying to behold) <--- insert reference to humongous machine here
Thanks for the compliment. I never actually saw a Hummer 'in person' with the treads, I just remembered hearing about them and I found a pic. It's my humble opinion that a HUMVEE's off-road capabilites can handle just about anything... but apparently not snow! As far as I know, the treads are designed for and used by the military.That tank/tractor is awesome!

The Russians prefer to go faster.
I think Max would chose this if he lived in a land most of the time covered in snow.
It's a late 50's Russian Sever snowcar. Fitted with a tree-blade airplane engine, this thing can get up to a speed of 100 KPH (62.5 MPH)

"UNDERSTEER" is when you hit the fence with the front of the car.
"OVERSTEER" is when you hit the fence with the rear of the car.
"HORSEPOWER" is how fast you hit the fence.
"TORQUE" is how far you take the fence with you.
