After the ridiculous record-breaking snowfall lastyear, I vowed there was absolutely NO FRIGGIN WAY I would go through another winter without a snow blower. Well, I sold off some of my extra collectibles and saved my pennies, and today, this was delivered to my house:

Dan Dan... no need to get mad simply because my street and driveway get cleaned in a few hours while it takes several days for you.

Don't make me run over you with my new toy.

[NGPixel]

I'm afraid your new toy will run out of gas by the time you get here.

Nope, I can wheel it over with no gas and just fire it up when I want to shoot Nick matter 60 feet in to the air

Try not to let the toy factor overwhelm you.. it's starting to look pretty sad for you

Quick question... where does it throw the snow exactly? Over the other side of your drive, then you go blow that side then it's back where it started?

[affenmunkEY]

Tom the engine warms it up, turns in to water and then freezes because of the temperature outside, so everybody can sue Faken for his job on the drive way lol.... Does look pretty cool though, have to be honest with you... I guess your wifes friends will be going 'boy will be boys' DAMN RIGHT THEY WILL BE

[dEcade]

I want one! I don't really have too much to shovel but it would be nice.

Now that's just silly. You'd turn the top so that it shoots the snow the same way!

And Dan, if you run him over with that don't you think it's going to start to look sad for you. I mean murder is frowned on in Canada.

You can control the height/distance and direction of the chute as you drive it, so you just keep aiming for the big pile next to your driveway

You think that's awesome? Look at what I get to plow /my/ driveway:



With a snow plow, of course. I think the tractor's a bit bigger than that, as well.

(And is red the official color for snow-clearing gadgets and such? O.o)

As in "aiming the driveway of your neighbor"

[Hoot]

I use a shovel when it snows lol.

Where I live, last year I believe we had some snow at the end of summer. This year has been nice though, no snow yet

[Vertimyst™]

I only needed the tractor last year because of all the snow. Our hired snow plow couldn't do the deep stuff. Also, I live on a farm, out in a big meadowy like area, so a shovel or snowblower just won't cut it. The driveway is wide and long.

I don't have a driveway I just park on the street.

[Vertimyst™]

Yes, well, you have to shovel your walkway, then, correct? /Real/ men have long driveways.

Do you actually get to drive it and use it? If not, you fail.

No, what women use because they're scared of snow blowers.
