Default Got a New Ride added to my Stable

I have been wanting one of these things now since they were released but just didn't have the funds to afford one. Well for 2014.5 Arctic Cat released a new model they are calling the Wildcat X Limited that comes with some real nice add-ons. The Elka shocks are worth more that the $2,000 difference in price. And it also comes with beadlock wheels, roof, full doors & ITP 28" tires.
Now I ordered this on 2 January but had to wait for them to get the metal doors in as they were back ordered at the time. So on 31 January I took delivery of my new rig. Now the whole month of January it was unusually warm and I could have been out driving like crazy. But of course now that I have this new rig the weather has turned a little cooler. With high's in the teens and low's in single digit it is too cold to go driving. So now I am stuck waiting for it to warm up enough I can go play.

Tied down, put to bed and ready to go. This trailable cover that Arctic Cat sells is very worth the money and will keep my Cat clean going down the nasty roads around here.

That this is awesome. I have not been riding near Cle Elum in a few years. I have a friend who has property in one of the Elk meadows on the north side of I90

Where did you get it? The background in that third pic down looks awfully familiar.

It's supposed to warm up here in a couple days along with some snow.

Derick,
I live off Exit 93, Elk Heights been here for 8 years now. This is the first year since I have been here that we didn't have snow at Christmas. Kinda sucked to be honest.


AppelH,
It is the first one of this model in the PNW and I bought it from Valley Marine in Yakima. Larson Powersports in Fife wanted a ridicules price for one. VM gave me $1060 off MSRP. And charged reasonable price for setup fees too.

Nice.That thing looks like a monster. I think I took my moms boat to Valley Marine is why it looked familiar.

Yes they do look almost street legal. Some states let you license them for restricted road use and then some let you license them and drive them just like a car. In Arizona you can even drive them on the freeway. Totally crazy I know but it is what it is.
