    You can drive a MM in the winter, even with a blower.

    Rex, have you ever been to the plant? I remember driving by it about 15 times every winter on our way to whoop up on the kids in De Pere, Fond du Lac, Green Bay and Ashwaubenon. Being from a small town in God's Country, I was always dumbfounded that a building could be so big! I remember seeing a couple of these sleds as a kid, but the overwhelming sled of choice was Ski-Doo...

    Ah, the good ole' days!

    Like you, drove past it hundreds of times and knew a bunch of guys that worked there, but never had a chance to visit the plant. I grew up in a small town on the Fond du lac - Green Lake county line, about 20 miles from FDL.

    I was an Arctic Cat guy, and yeah, those were the good old days!
