 would work better on a vehicle with an automatic transmission.  They do not
 glide too well when you push in the clutch.  He has had it up to 40mph on
 the highway.  Says it does well but likes to wander in the turns. He drove
 it up the ski run to get it behind the lodge and claims it climbs pretty
 good.
 They start at about $18K so they are not cheap.  Still cheaper than a snow
 cat,
 which costs about $250K. >>

Former Listee Kyle Wirth cut and pasted them onto a pic of his Syncro Double
Cab. If interested in seeing what it looks like pmail me and I'll send it to
you. I'm sure he won't mind.
