The strangest snow plow I've ever seen belongs to a friend of mine who
is a veterinarian. He has always done the plowing for his long driveway
at home and for his veterinary hospital about 1/4 mile down the road.
His choice of car is a Cadillac Escalade SUV. So he has a plow and
hydraulic lift attached to the Escalade. I suspect it's the only
Cadillac snow plow in the world. :-)
Looks like this one (sans plow)
