Strap-On Tank Treads

'Metelica' is the Brainchild of a Snowed-In Russian Inventor

Snow days may be non-existent if strap-on tank treads are imported into America. This is the coolest car mod I have seen in awhile -- and I've seen the boat-tail mod.

The inventor of this awesome way to crush snow and turn heads resides in Chelyabinsk, Russia. He constructed this awesome apparatus from leftover tread assemblies.

The strap-on tank treads are easy to use it seems. Just drive up, remove wheels, strap-on and go! You control the treads with your cars controls. Watch the video to see this badass invention in action.
