Earlier this week, I was reading as one does and I came across this 1981 . Apparently, this little cross between a moped and a snow-mobile was powered by a little single-cylinder boat engine and sold alongside the rest of the Mopar product line. While there have been at Dodge dealers, I had never seen one of these before.

It’s so far removed from the rest of the Chrysler lineup, but it’s still wearing that same Pentastar, and it’s easy to disassemble so you can stick it in the back of your Town and Country (station wagon, of course). It’s an accessory, yes, but it’s also a Chrysler product in its own right. And I think that’s cool as hell.

That got me thinking. What other products like these are out there? What other non-car products have automakers designed and marketed under their main brands? I’m not talking about heavy trucks built by automakers, and, to keep it interesting, let’s say motorcycles are out too. But what else like the Sno Runner got built? Let us know in the comments and don’t forget to include images as well!

The Toyota Yaris Makes For A Handsome Crossover
It turns out the awkward little can make for a handsome little crossover, as previewed by the new Yaris Cross. There’s also a healthy dose of Toyota’s new Mirai design language that I can’t be mad at. One of my favorite impressions of the new 2021 hydrogen car was...

Traffic sucks, so why not start your morning off with some music? You provide the toast and we’ll provide the jams. There are many, many, many recordings of this song, but this is my favorite. The most remarkable thing about you standing in the doorway is that it’s you. ...
