So im not really sure if this belongs here (mods if it doesnt please move it), but this morning when i was bitching about attempting to get a plow i came up with an idea. So i took some wood and made myself a little plow. Now this looks retarded only becase well it IS retarded. I had moved all of about 4 inches of snow when i had heard a crack and thus stopping my amusement with this idea. I took it off and put it back in the basement but in a discussion with mr. adictd2boost i had put it back on for pictures. Without further babling i bring you the newest winter car accessory. Let me know what you think… ---

thats sweet.you should of took your bumper off and bolted it to your bumper support and put a wedge beteen the buttom of the board and your car so it wont buckle under when you plow foward. Ever try having a friend sit on your hood with a shovel and you drive foward to plow your driveway? doesn’t work to well. ---

If you supported it correctly that would have probably worked for a while longer. And if you put it on a car you don’t care about you could probably make one that would really last. ---

I wish I had pictures of the one I made when I was 14 for my 4wheeler. One of my chores was keeping our 250+ foot driveway shoveled. Always being an engineer at heart, one day I set out to find a better way. Being 14 I had no money, so I used stuff I could find around the house, including: Some old 2x4’s 2 really heavy duty door hinges Some plywood Some random nuts/bolts I managed to build a sweet V plow a little wider than the quad, that would lift and lower via a rope pulley system. I could leave a 10" long 2x4 bolted to the front frame and simply remove the hinge pins to take it off, so mounting and removal was a 30 second job. Clearing the driveway went from an hour+ job to 10 minutes tops. I changed the design a little bit with different bracing, but basically it lasted several years, including almost 2 feet of wet heavy snow in one storm, until I sold the quad and gave the plow to the new owner. ---

nah i just really didnt want to shovel, but yeah i woulda went house to house if it worked. Suprisingly from what im reading here i was onto something that could potentially have been a really good idea if i had a winter beater. ---
