    If I had to guess, I'd say the same. But it was 1980 advertising for Scorpion Snowmobiles.

Someone in advertising misspelled the name calling it a Ski Doo. Upon discovery of the error, Bombardier thought it sounded better and more memorable, so the...

There's no prize but the first to respond with the correct answer will have bragging rights for 24 hours. I've got...

    So you're saying that you're a little bit..... I gotta say, you're the first guy I thought of when I saw this post. "He's probably in his truck and halfway there by the time I read this." I'll also say, if I had half the skills that you have renovating these relics, I'd be there too! Happy...
