    I remember thinking the heraldry badge on my Dad's old Monte Carlo was really cool, when I was a kid. Looking back, it is pretty badass.

    Ah, that wonderful malaise era where every US car tried to exude class by heraldry, coins, wreaths, shields, and all the other paraphernalia of fake tradition and pseudo-exclusivity. Here's a Mercury Marquis badge from the '70s - it's not just a Mercury, it's a "Lincoln Mercury Division"car!

    I've nabbed a total of two emblems from the local junkyard. The Prospector emblem came off a mid-'70s Dodge Ram van, and the Sapporo emblem came off the hood of an '83 Plymouth Sapporo.

    This is the first thing I think of whenever anyone mentions Sapporo. God, I want that emblem. I've never even HEARD of a plymouth sapporo, or seen one. They must be extinct.
    Oh, hey-- it's a Mitsubishi Galant. I actually would kinda like one. I'd throw that Plymouth badging away and put the triple diamond badge on it, though.

    This isn't Snowmachinelopnik or Snowmobilopnik or even the relatable motolopnik. (though Diddles, I must say, I'm getting excited over the concept of planeopnik or better yet, Jaloplane.)


    When Yamaha makes a car, call us-- Oh wait, that almost happened once. Though I guess you can thank Yamaha for the ride.


    Ask Yamaha to kindly get back to making motorcycles and pianos.

    @BraappBraapp: Some Assembly Required!: eh that last line I didn't really mean.

    With Honda, it's more of an issue of "What don't they make?" SnowMachines, Motorcycles of every variety, generators, standalone engines, personal watercraft...


    Mitsubishi is a close 2nd.

    Heard of the SX4 lately? That's a nice little car and I'd definitely have one. AWD and stick for 16k? Sign me up.

    Great job, Diddles!


    I've been thinking that, having lived in MI for 10 years now, I should get into winter sports. Snowmobiling looks like it would be hella fun.


    There are problems:

    1. Where do I store the snowmobile the other 3 months of the year?

    2. I don't want to have to drive 5 hours to get to decent snow. Now, I keep hoping the AlGore is wrong and we go into some major global cooling. Then I could ride my snowmobile up Telegraph Road to work.

    3. My assless chaps would be cold in the winter.

    More likely, he'll kick my ass regularly.
