Rumor has it that they are stripped down Chevy Volts. Government Motors is modifying them as snowmobiles as they can’t be sold as automobiles.

Limtited range of 100 yards to 1 mile, depending on temperature,snow depth,snow texture, rider weight, moon phase,incline and mood of the rider.

And whether or not the beer involved is Molson Canadian or Molson XXX.

No.

[MarkBsnr]

up to a mile? seriously?

No. Just like the Blackbird could only run Mach 2.5.

[GeronL]

I certainly hope it can travel more than a mile at a time. lol

[catnipman]

Really good for hunting too! Marty’s definitely gonna want one of those.

Truth be said even a basic new model snow Mach
One could be 500,000 for the first model after r and d.

I've been doing a little digging. We're talking 50-100 miles per engagement - or more, but it's still under development. I had a chat with the local conservative radio talk show host this afternoon. He'd heard about that and we had quite some time joking about it.

But we've also had discussion about things like the War of 1812. This is the anniversary of when a bunch of drunken Nova Scotians sailed on down to Washington DC and burned down much of Washington and a whole bunch of the White House. They ran out of rum, and not liking corn whisky, said to perdition with it all and sailed on back to where the spirits were more to their taste.
