Ontario tuner builds the most Canadian Winter beater ever!
Ontario tuner builds the most Canadian Winter beater ever!
It hasn’t been much of a Winter in Ontario and Quebec and yet creative minds have been hard at work building some of the coolest snow machines we’ve ever seen.
First, there was Nissan’s Rogue Warrior, which was created in Quebec and has won the hearts of Winter fans around the world. Now, there is Smart-Traxx.
The brain child of mechanic Tod Anderson, from Manotick, Ontario, the wee Winter…

I am irredeemably bent by my lust for the most economical of econoboxes. When you show me plain grey fabric upholstery, a simple yet utilitarian dash, and maybe some kind of tape deck stereo, I am all over that shit. Things get even better if there’s some kind of exotic cupholder, loose-parts cargo net - sweet Jesus, map pockets with thick-woven faux lambswool inside - or latching binnacle between the front seats. Those front wheel drives with bouncing McPherson Struts, of which I have spoken before.
When you drive an economical daily driver to work, you’re not just driving yourself to work. No, my friend, you are entering into the most precious partnership Western society has ever engineered - that of a man and his daily driver. The sky above you gazes down upon an efficient and practical way to get to work, sometimes even with a little bit of style beneath the glimmering steel carapace courtesy of a performance part or upgraded sound system. The mind boggles.
But there is another. I speak now to you of the winter beater.
O, the Winter Beater. Even now the weight of those words leaving my lips makes my heart race and my fingers tremble. To speak of it in polite company is to invite confusion. Who would ever want a winter beater, they ask. You can just keep driving your regular daily driver in the winter. But they just don’t understand. They don’t get you. I don’t think they’ll ever understand me.
Imagine now an era where men were dominated by a fear of nature, and you will understand: the Winter Beater stands head and shoulders above the conventional fair-weather Daily Driver. An econobox, but in worse condition. Park with impunity! Make the normals fear your holed-out muffler and Swiss cheesed rocker panels as you drift lazily around a corner, narrowly missing an all-terrain-shod minivan and violently fishtailing city bus!
In nature, there is the food chain. Atop the food chain is the greatest apex predator to have ever existed: man. Man has always constructed tools, and as in nature his tools must too have a chain of supremacy. Atop the tool chain is the Winter Beater.
