[alexian1989]

@alexian1989

No...That is an 84 HONDA Civic... Why would you think VW?

[bpl0807]

man, 1996 lol

[bradenn]

Ouch, the CVs and transmission won't last more than two seasons plowing into snow like that.

[sneezabonk]

Where can I get one?

[matt4925]

@sneezabonk

Only one in existence...as far as I know. All you need is a lot of steel, and some fabrication skills. Find an old car, and give it a try...you never know.......Matt

[sneezabonk]

How easy is it to see when you are riding in the car?

[matt4925]

Its a little challenging to see directly in front, but you get a feel for what you are doing reasonably quickly.

[HungryVermilingua]

You should use your son or a little kid, to sit in the back and dispense road salt.

[MrHimuraChan]

Congratulations! I think not even Honda thought their Civic could do that!

[matt4925]

Play the old VHS tape on a VCR,audio and video out from the there into a media capture device, and make a digital file out of it...ie. wmv, avi, divx etc. Fairly common practice.

thats pretty cool. im suprised it works as well as it does. well done =)

[matt4925]

Thanks.....it was a lot of trial and error to make it work..........Matt

[rtsoccerplayer]

why do you keep the trunk open?

[matt4925]

The rear window defroster chose that day to die, so its was either blast the heat with the hatch open to see where you were backing up, or only go forward... I managed to clear most of the road and driveways this way............Matt

[rtsoccerplayer]

oh ic

cool vid btw, lol its not something you see everyday

[mrxracing]

Awesome!! The (older) Civics are some of the best cars ever made!

[matt4925]

And yet another rocket scientist voices his long awaited opinion.... good luck with that........

[mtdman11]

was this a regular truck plow chopped down? what was used to lift it?

[matt4925]

Yes... it was chopped in length and width, and used a standard single action hydraulic cylinder fed from a power steering pump mounted on the steel beam where the front bumper used to be. All of this was controlled by a dual flow spring action valve mounted where the e brake was, and with a reserve tank mounted to the floor adjacent the passenger's floorboard.

car looks like a ford festiva

[matt4925]

Nope.... it's a civic... with steel where the bumper used to be

[lethe6969]

Nice hair you had back then, you made 1996 look like 1976.
