Soup Up Your Sled

blog.wired.com — Winter Wonderland just isn't complete without the scream of a 200-plus horsepower snowmobile engine. What people did for fun in the dead of winter before they could tear up the countryside Artic Cats, Yamahas, Polarises (Polarisi?), and Ski-Doos remains a mystery.

  • inigomntoya, on 12/29/2008, -0/+4Nice title - I thought it was referencing something we used to do in high school...
    We would get hungry mid way through a full day's ride. So, we would bring a can of Chunky Soup. To warm it up, we would wire it to the exhaust pipe.
    Sometimes it would get a little TOO hot and blow up all over inside your hood. Hence the Soup Up Your Sled reference...

  • pathouston22, on 12/29/2008, -0/+3I've never snowmobiled (I live in Texas), but I do own jet skis...and if its nearly as fun as that, I look forward to the day when I get to try it out!

  • borez, on 12/29/2008, -0/+2Even though I hate the fact that you submit every ***** Daily Mail and Telegraph story going Mr McIntryre

  • Aurabolt, on 12/29/2008, -0/+2brb going to make soup
  • Vzylexy, on 12/29/2008, -0/+2Don't forget to bring the old people.
  • WELLDOITLIVE, on 12/29/2008, -0/+2I love cheese and beer soup
  • 4UT0P1L0T, on 12/30/2008, -0/+1Dugg for the classic Arctic Cat King Kat.

    My grandfather owned an Arctic Cat Dealership when I was growing up. Snowmobiling is intense, 0-100 in just a few seconds. Good times..
  • scribby, on 12/29/2008, -0/+1Did anyone get sound on the first link? I saw one YouTube commenter say it was idling too high and another complained about a lack of sound. Thanks.
    That second link sounded beautiful.
  • LJSeinfeld, on 12/29/2008, -0/+1So, you've never driven and/or ridden in a car or other motorized conveyance? Douche.
  • WELLDOITLIVE, on 12/29/2008, -0/+1Couldn't hurt!
  • tomjthayer, on 12/29/2008, -0/+0So thats how he gets all the way around the world in one night . . .
  • inactive, on 12/29/2008, -1/+1And bacon.
  • Brassbud, on 12/29/2008, -1/+1Not usually a spelling Nazi, but it should read "Arctic Cat".
  • pathouston22, on 12/29/2008, -0/+0Yeah, basically the only way to get hurt on a jet ski is do something stupid. And even stupid stuff doesn't get you hurt unless you crash into something...but if you do that then your beyond stupid.
  • GooyBoy, on 12/29/2008, -1/+1The Model T snow machine is for real and extremely rare. My Dad's brother just restored one. The rear end drive is a strange worm drive kindof contraption. I'd love to get my hands on one just for the fun of it.
  • WELLDOITLIVE, on 12/29/2008, -1/+1It's just as fun, with twice the danger! Actually probably more than double the odds of getting injured than on a jetski.
  • mcleaver, on 12/29/2008, -2/+1Who cares about the environment? Who cares about polar bears and glaciers?
  • diggduggDOOM, on 12/29/2008, -1/+0I prefer to sled up my soup.
  • SteveMTyler, on 12/29/2008, -3/+1snowmobilers have no BC sense and put themselves and everyone else in danger.

    That is a blanket statement, and I stand behind it. One of the worst things in the world is to hike out all morning then hear a sled come up, and watch them be so ***** stupid above the tree line putting us (and themselves) in danger.

    Espesically this year in the PNW with the freak cold front early dec. followed by the recent dumps.
  • Jakyll, on 12/29/2008, -5/+3As in "yo dawg, we put a sled in yo sled, so you can sled while you sled?"
  • inactive, on 12/29/2008, -5/+0Haaaahahahaaaha! The two old biddies in the aisle next to my cube are having a conversation about music - the 50-year-old just said "Metalica's cool!"....whoot!
