A buddy here in 'sippi bought a Japanese or Chinese right-hand drive forward-cab micro-truck for about $4500 at auction. There's a dealer nearby too who gets about the same price, but his are newer. It's pretty cool too. It is a quiet but powerful 3-cylinder (it will start out in 3rd gear), 4x4, flat bed with fold-up sides, with full on-road amenities like turn signals, heater horn etc. He drives it everywhere around here. It costs $38 a year to plate it. Some guys are lifting them and putting aggressive ATV tires on them and painting them cammoflage colors. Some come with power tilting dump beds too.

Below is the picture of my 'sippi buddy's micro-truck.

For anyone that's interested in Hurricane Katrina, this picture today was taken 5 miles from the Gulf of Mexico where the eye went through in Waveland, MS. It's about 4 feet above sea level. Storm surge seawater was 27 ft. above that with 14-15 ft. waves and stayed there for about 8 hours. I'm staying up the street about a 1/4 mile even more inland and there was 33 ft. of water there with 17 ft. waves. The 2500 sqft two-story house up on 10 ft. pilings floated up and over the power lines and landed in the street. Water went 15 miles inland. New Orleans you here is always in the news---the hurricane didn't bring storm surge there---it was the poorly maintained levies that broke AFTER the storm.

But I'm jis' sayin'

Belt drives have been used on snowmobiles for ages with no problems when wet. In fact I've seen snomobiles racing across open water and down/up rivers and streams. My buddy has a Honda Odessey which is a one-man ATV buggy whih has a belt drive. He's forded rivers with it deeper than regular ATV's can go. The water gets steamed off by friction build up and spun off by the spinning parts.
