How Much Mechanical Sympathy Do You Have?
What type of fuel do you run?
1. E85 works just fine, I don't see what the big problem is
2. As specified in my operator's manual, 91 octane
3. Purple gas is 10 cents cheaper, bro!
4. VP Racing C12 to prevent detonation
How does your maintenance schedule look?
1. When something breaks, I fix it promptly
2. Say what? Come again?
3. That's the next guy's problem once I roll back the odometer and flog it on Mountain Sledder Swapmeet
4. The OEM suggested maintenance schedule isn't nearly comprehensive enough! I've personally torqued every nut and bolt on my sled
5. I dunno, I pay my dealer good $$ to take care of that for me
What's your stance on parts and accesssories?
1. Lightweight mods from the aftermarket are the way to go, and they're often cheaper than OEM replacement parts
2. Zip-ties will fix pretty much anything!
3. I just love my OEMs PG&A catalog! It's got everything I need!
4. I named my kids "Carbon Fiber" and "Titanium"
How do you store your sled?
1. Heated shop kept at exactly 19˚C and 45% humidity

4. I built a little tent out of some 2x4s and a tarp
5. Only six months 'til riding season, it can stay in the back of the truck
At the trailhead, you:
1. Bring your sled up to the manufacturer suggested operating temp
2. Let your sled idle for 20 minutes while you get ready
3. Flash your sled up and immediately tear ass up the trail at 120
4. Smash yesterday's ice off the tunnel with a tire iron
What type of oil do you use?
1. The cheapest shit you can find at the gas station
2. A premium synthetic from an aftermarket brand
3. Whatever's on sale at Lordco
4. Your snowmobile OEM brand
What do you carry for tools?
1. I have a guy who carries my tools for me (aka you are Chris Burandt)
2. Bolt cutters and something to scratch the VIN off
3. A tow strap and the number for the helicopter company
4. Only what came with the sled
5. I have a customized toolkit I put together myself
Trees are:
1. I stare at them and they call to me, but I will not be intimidated
2. To be avoided at all costs
3. For traction
4. When I go to the arcade, I only play pinball
