Talking Doing his Civic duty in a snowstorm: Waterville man fits Honda sedan with custom snow

http://morningsentinel.mainetoday.com/news/local/4574298.html

Instead of relaxing in a recliner, when the snow begins to fall, Inman, 58, heads outdoors and fires up his 1998 Honda Civic. Then the work and fun begins. Mounted in the front of the small sedan is a homemade snowplow he uses to clear the large parking lot behind the apartment building where he and his wife, Irene, live on Summer Street. It is a labor of love and Yankee ingenuity.

I'll bet that's really good for his transmission, too.

That is an interesting concept. I have a folding, blown poly (like those plastic kids' toys) V-plow that I used to plow my driveway with my Escort wagon. It strapped onto the tiedowns under the bumper and actually worked surpisingly well. That combined with my magnet-mount flashing light made for some interesting looks from passers-by.

If anyone wants it, it's theirs! I tried to pawn if off on Hattie but that didn't work.
