Snow? What snow?? VX VIDEO

Well, as you know North East got hit pretty hard by a snow blizzard. We got about 20+ inches of snow dumped on us since yesterday. To give you an idea of how much snow we got here are some pictures of my burried VX:

From these pictures, it looks like this baby is not going anywhere. Well, I still decided to attempt to get it out without digging it out. So my wife took the video camera, and I took the wheel... what happened? See for yourself how VX did. :cool: (Keep in mind that I am not a professional filmmaker so go easy on me)

VX SNOWPLOW

If the video is slow or pauses, try to right click on the link and save the file locally on your PC, then it will play fine. I am not sure what is the bandwith of my server so it could be slow if a few people hit it at the same time. Enjoy :)

For the folks with a slow dial-up connection, here is a link to a lower quality video:

VX SNOWPLOW - LOW QUALITY

So funny! Thank you for sharing that.. I needed a laugh today! :)
Good choice of music and I especially love the ending closeup of your white rims. ;)

Too Funny!!!
We only got a measly 12" here in Vermont and didn't have time to shovel the driveway before work. I decided to keep the baby in the garage and take the 2 wheel drive Rodeo to work today...(Isuzu Snowplow)...No problems.
I lost count...was that a twelve point turn or..... :p
Your video was great!
John

Thanks Anita and John :) Yea, twelve point is pretty damn close, but she made it out! I was pretty sure I'll get stuck, so i was pleasantly surprised. My wife's Infinity FX35 would not even move in that snow... then again, she's got 20 inch sports tires which are really summer only.

" IN TOD WE TRUST" ;)

hehe, stuff like this makes me smile...when folks out here in southern CA are wearing shorts and t shirts this very day. :)

Excellent video.....a great laugh for us southern VX'ers that don't get to play in the snow! What program did you make the wmv with? Very well done! Thanks again for the laugh!

Hey flyingarmy, are you an aviator? badass, if so. Your name once again makes me curse my crummy eyes... :)

Thanks. I used Windows Movie Maker. I didn't expect much from it since it came with my Widows Media Center PC but it is actually very easy to use and works pretty well. I used more complicated programs before but this one was so easy - pretty much drag and drop and you are done. Took me about 10 minutes to put this video together. It also had no problem controlling my Panasonic camcorder through firewire. Microsoft definitely impressed me with this little proggy.

A vx in Chelmsford? I went to High School there. I had my Ironman running the streets 2 Thanks Givings ago.

Remember to shop Jones Farm, Rt27.

Spasibo ;) How is your store doing? Hope business is going well, sorry I missed the grand opening.

Jonathan: I actually live right next to all the schools - Richardson Road. I moved there a year and a half ago so I wasn't there 2 years ago. I will definitely check out Jones Farm, thanks for the tip.

Nice!

Funny stuff -
I almost expected to see the VX do the "dog shake" (like in the Jeep Grand Cherokee commercial) when if was finally out of the snow. :)

veryyyy cool

VERY nice! Great tune and creative dissolves..almost looks like it was made on a Mac! ;)

I have to look into Windows Movie Maker...simple yet effective. Thanks again for the laugh, had a rough day..and that vid sure helped!

Hey, PCs are not that far behind in video making these days ;) I can even see you giving some $$ to Bill Gates... he needs it, he is poor! :p

I was a Pathfinder for many years (Ft. Bragg and Ft. Wainwright), spent a lot of time shivering in the Chinooks...

Awesome movie Yefim. Really well made. Nice to see the VX in action, proofing that TOD really does seem to make all wheels work equally when needed. Like the next thing to lockers? No wonder we tow jeeps in the snow.

What a mess!

Looks like fun. It *almost* makes me miss my days living in Minnesota - *almost*...

Thanks for sharing!

- s a i n t -

:p luv it, I would call that a real StormTROOPER, all I have to worry about are the U. V. rays fading my paint. ;)

Haven't even seen the video yet, but my cable modem just hit 704Kbps on the download!!! 10.3MB in 18 seconds flat... that is a new record! ;)

OK... just watched the video... AWESOME!! And the choice of soundtrack.... TOTALLLLLLY AWESOME! Chris Isaak doing "Let it snow".... saw him in concert here last July and it was one of the best live performances I've ever attended.

Thanks so much for posting this. It's not even 10am and I've got in my ab workout for the day just from laughing so hard! ;)

Don

Now that should be on America's funniest home videos! Thoroughly enjoyed your flik! Many Thanks!

Well im in Northern California and I was jelous every second of that video. I wish it snowed here in Napa.

Glad you all enjoyed it. I can't believe it was a year ago... this year’s winter has not been this much *fun* so far in Massachusetts otherwise I’d probably make “Part Two” or something :_snowplow

Thanks

After watching it (twice) myself - I showed Kathy your video…

You boosted her confidence in our new VX at least 10,000% - Thanks! ;)

Очень забавный видеоклип :) Very cool video :)

I hope noone would subject his/her VX to such "exposure" :)

:-) Feels like x-mas here in Arizona! :p
