Snowmobiles can fly. Anything that goes farther than the Wright brothers at Kittyhawk is really flying
On December 17, 1903, Orville Wright piloted the first powered airplane 20 feet above a wind-swept beach in North Carolina. The flight lasted 12 seconds and covered 120 feet.
Three more flights were made that day with Orville's brother Wilbur piloting the record flight lasting 59 seconds over a distance of 852 feet

Streetcars, were good for more than just public transportation... did you know they were used to plow snow along their route?
read about plowing snow with street cars: http://cincystreetcar.wordpress.com/2009/01/
I like that many were made into little diners. See the inside of one at the Henry Ford museum https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEitfYGs-ahPb-oHnfyXGJfmHqkByBDcZpJGCPsJZBg_Ufqnm8SIQc1tzUkU5iIwU5WXWSLRD01qiq-M1F9H1M7VUsarM1QwjUUHbSKwBiFNCUvt1kRds_ykEPN2QSXyttR_7vn3X5O0L-Y/s1600/Henry%2520Ford%2520Diner%5B1%5D.jpg it is the nicest I've seen, most are far more simple and less ornamentalSome were made into houses: http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2009/09/street-cars-getting-second-life-as-home.html
And in San Diego I found one diner street car, and two homes made from street cars http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2008/06/survivors-of-era-i-doubt-anyone-else.html
The antarctic Sno Cruiser was driven to Chicago, then loaded on a ship for the south pole, and broke the off-loading ramp, you gotta see the video

Snow machine, home made fun type!
the motor must be in the wheel hub area... but I don't see how it is steered, unless it's differential engine speeds, it looks chainsaw motors and twist throttles. I don't recall where I was tipped off to this from, for a couple other very interesting home made snow machines: http://parkoffka.ru/item/2010/4/15/samodel_nyi_snegohod_12_fotografii
Columbia Icefield Snowmobile tours old tour bus... it's been replaced by modern busses riding on monster truck tires
I believe this is located on the boundary of Banff and Jasper http://www.explorerockies.com/
top photo from http://www.flickr.com/photos/7552808@N04/3501308421/ the bottom photo is one I posted last yearCool old russian vehicles!
1913 Russobalt Type-Kegresse
1939–1946. Total 33 840 units were produced. This truck is powered by gas generator that used firewood (or coal) to produce gas that powers the engine. Because of this it has low power and speed, it is difficult to service and not so easy to start up. But because the lack of gasoline in some north regions this truck was indispensable.
Yag -12 all four front tires steer, 1932 to 1941
Produced 1949–1953. This interesting car is kind of GAZ-M20 Bobeda based six seat minivan
This is a 1956 4 wheel drive airplane towtruck, and can be switched to just front wheel drive. (only 13 made)

Prototype built in 1934. Only one GAZ-Aero was produced by engineer Aleksei Osipovich.
There was no info with this image, but it's amazingly large. Anyone know what it is? M Christian Nailed it!

Looks like a land train, with local fire department paint and letters, and here's why... It's the 1939 Sno Cruiser! Jo Schmo pointed me in the right direction https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiQua57uhSD5K0wYIYbr1a6yx11Ka8fdPdGvp0RETGgfvu02vqrKurwrQZkBGWQDjwJMB5gePWUWQ_CH_CtZkdLLAp_HkpFSnLu09QTeS3dQvjVnF0tHv-KIOTh4e8ZtAhLGJ73cCNhIps/s1600-h/snow-cruiser.jpg
I posted a cool color photo of it in December http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2009/12/arctic-or-antarctic-explorers.html possibly from a post by M Christian a year earlier, an awesome post! http://meinekleinefabrik.blogspot.com/2008/12/for-sale-by-owner.html
