No doubt then why it appears in mint condition with no salt on the roadway either.
Since cars depend more on the front brakes to stop or slow down how responsive is that lil Nash Rambler? Wasn't there a song about it in the 60's?

Looks sort of like a bus on steroids. It would be cool to drive around but sell when the gas tank was empty.

The muskeg is too soft to support standard tires, so they use the massive tires w/ super-high suspension to spread out the weight. IIRC, they recycle the chassis of Fort Mac mining trucks.
You should go there--not too far for you! Train leaves from Winnipeg. High season for bears and baluga is right around Halloween.
