You all laugh because you've never tried to navigate a snow drift with a C3 on a Canadian highway.
I've seen the same thing done in my neck of the woods (also in Ontario - go figure) with a '79 Formula Firebird. And I'll bet you thought all hicks lived south of the Ohio/Kentucky border!

Oh embarrassment
The guy with the 73 4x4 actually lives about 40 miles from me
He owns a used car lot! You know plaid pants etc...

The 73 was deralect when he started...thank god!!
Interior & drivetrain strip'd, birdcage & frame rotted, had surprisingly good fiberglass body thou!

Actually looks better than a couple below, at least that white 80? you could put on some nice wheels & rims & have a nice car!

This is truly ugly.

I kind of like the mud buggy mod. There was one nearly identical to this for sale a while ago somewhere on the praries (Alberta I thought). Strangely enough, it didn't sell.
