First sled I ever owned was a 99 Z370 that i bought when i was 14. Was a little on the small size but it was all i could afford with my own pennies lol. Turned out to be a pretty fun little sled, rode it for 2 years then got and 04 sabercat, than a 07 Renegade X last year and now my 09 M8 sno pro
kitty cat 50cc had to be in the 80s then next sled was 99 summit 670

92 Phazer I bought new from money I got from scrapping copper wire from a school demolition. My Journeyman was cool to split the money 50/50 and now we are both sledaddicts.
96 Arctic Cat 580 powder special, its a fun sled wife rides it now while she`s learning , then bought 97 Summit 670 have now.

Wedge hood with pop up light. Thing would only run at WOT. Hated to idle or start and loved to overheat if moving to slow.
Took me way to many places that I should have never trusted it but somehow it always go me home.

When i was a kid we always had a back yard sled kicking around . We had a TNT 440 doo and a few Massey Fergeson's . My first personal sled was a 1995 XCR 600 . It was a crashed race sled i bought off of my friend Jeremy Crapo . It had been stolen and crashed , i paid what the insurance Co. wanted to buy back the Salvage .
Right after it was all fixed up and shiney and new again , i traded it for a 1967 big block Camaro . And then i bought my first new sled in 1997 . A 136 Powder Extreme .
My first ride on a new upgraded 2 inch track almost took my life in Jefferson . When i woke up at the bottom of the hill there were about 5 people standing over me saying . Are you ok ? Can you here me ? The sled was destroyed with 370 miles on it . Both a arms on the right side were ripped right out of the bulkhead.
Crapo , what a class act that guy was . I still call the Camaro , the car Jeremy gave me . RIP friend .
