Up for sale is qty 1 Extreme Max Pro Aluminum Snowmobile Lift. Used once. I went out and bought what I expected to be the very best snowmobile lift that money could buy. All I actually bought was the most expensive piece of junk that money could buy. I've used it once and can't stand the thought of using it again. The form and fit are horrible, and the functionality is painful.
1) The wheels are too small. You can't roll over a zip tie.
2) I am pretty sure this thing is manufactured by 7yr olds. The holes are in the wrong locations and drilled crooked so nothing works. The corners are literally ground with an angle grinder. No two are the same.
3) The feet that go under the running boards are a huge pain to flip up and down. You can't roll the lift under the sled without them 'down' and can't lift the snowmobile without them 'up'. Tools required for everyday operation. You have to kneel down to flip the feet. Isn't the point of the lift so I don't have to lay on the floor???? Grrrr
4) Is the lift going to tip over? Who knows? It wabbles, it shakes, it might let the snowmobile fall on you and kill you...
5) Want to use a drill to power this thing up? Nope. It can barely be cranked by hand
6) It is just a matter of time before the rubber boots fail. They twist all out of position when you lift the sled up.

I'd love to brag this thing up so I can unload it, but you can tell by my feedback that I am an honest seller. Want to give it a shot? Come on over with some cash and make a deal.
I'd like to say that my loss is your gain, but more like my loss is your future loss.
I don't have the box anymore. Only the instructions. (and a large pile of disappointment)

Side note: I am an engineer, avid snowmobiler and inventor. I know how this stuff should work. If I can find a sympathetic person to take this thing off my hands, I plan to build my own lift.



Subaru seeks to dump 'quirky,' broaden appeal

Mon, 12 Jul 2010

When Subaru arrived in the United States in the 1960s, ads used the unflattering slogan "cheap and ugly." The brand has come a long way. But to critics, the concept of "Subaru styling" is still an oxymoron. Even loyalists describe it as "quirky"; the less charitable choose "bland" and "boxy." Subaru is one of the few brands that have been unscathed, even growing stronger, during the U.S.

Subaru Impreza Diesel delayed for UK

Wed, 24 Dec 2008

Update 2/9/09: Finally, Subaru has announced that the Subaru Impreza Diesel will be coming to the UK, starting at £20,000 OTD for the 2.0D RC. It does get difficult when markets go mad, and currencies fall out of the normal range of values, for none more than the big car manufacturers whose products are sold around the world. The Japanese are really struggling with this at the moment, as the Yen has remained strong in relation to many western currencies, in particular the Pound.
