Just bought this one myself, it's a 96 Arctic Cat... Haven't had a sled for a few years, before I had a '93 ski doo and a 87 bombardier... So this is an upgrade lol..

Now I gotta wait until Friday for the next round of snow to come... What Sleds (or toys in general) do you guys have?

my dad collects / rebuilds old sleds. he used to be all into restoring them to original condition but has slowly moved over to just buying a $70 junker thing for parts and working on it till it runs and then moving on. ill see which of his i can remember:
68 super olympic, 2 1973 TnT's, 1980 citation, 1982 citation ss, 76 elan ss, and then two newer olympics and a mid 70s motoski. the old ones come and go so that list is probably not totally accrate right now. plus two early 2000s Polaris Indys for trails and shit. the little old sleds are more fun in my opinion though and super easy to tear apart. basically stemmed my interest in motors /mechanics

Damn, she nice. What kind of runners you got her coasting on? I picked up one of these, it was just lying around my mansion. I got consumed in the world of business and didn't realize that things from my childhood like this are where I would find real happiness. Click for larger image

Id say thats a win in my book. I dont see the point in owning a $8k sled to ride 3 months of the year. If i live out west then yes i see the point
