here's another video. I bent the shift rod offroading a few days ago, so first and second are extremely hard to find, hence the poor shifting. enjoy :)

I use it around the farm, for towing things, transportation, power and sound
When I first starting reading this, I thought you were going for some hyper-mpg daily driver that weighted about 950 pounds !!  Still very cool !!

Ontario is fairly strict, but farm vehicles are pretty loose and fast in my experience.

In Michigan it would be a piece of cake putting it on the road. First off, it would be a motor cycle requiring a cycle endorsement on your drivers license. Second, it would be an assembled vehicle. Next time I'm at Home Depot I'll snap a photo of the vehicle one of the workers made.

Out here in BC there's these 3-wheel forklifts that a lot of the Home Depot trucks have hanging off the back.  They've all got their own plates as they need to be able to run around on the road by themselves delivering building materials.  Besides them having a roll cage and tail lights I don't see much difference!

Michigan is also the home of coat hanger and JB weld muffler vehicle repair.

I used to drive a 71 International Scout that the previous owner cut the back off, moved the rear glass up to the cab to create a pickup truck, and it had a wooden bed on it. It was fun to drive though. Short wheel base too. (I used to live up near Traverse)

I am fairly sure I have seen entire cars (barely) held together by coat hangers and JB weld on Michigan highways.
