A Mighty Good Feeling: 1977 Pantera Commercial


(12/11/2011)

Check out this awesome Arctic Cat commercial for the 1977 Pantera. Do we Midwesterners really talk like that? The movie Fargo, anyone?

Getting a new snowmobile makes each of us feel mighty good. Like Henry.

This was the first sled i ever had as my own. My dad handed it down to me when i was 12 years old, he had it since the early 80's. I think first time i rode it was 1996 or 1997 winters when MN had record snowfall, it would go anywhere his XCR went!

Some things never change...I got the very same reaction when I drove though downtown Ogilvie MN with a 2012 F800 in the back of my old Ford truck just last week. This particular day I was headed in to the gas station to fill up with 91 octane and grab some Lefse. Also...ever since elementary school I have always disliked it when people flipped my ear-flapper hat forward on my head.

John to answer your question: Do we Midwesterners really talk like that?

No we midwesterners don't, but you Minnesotans sure do :)
And then you guys are always saying us guys from Chicago have the accent LOL

I still have a Pantera sweater. It was given to me as a Christmas gift by my mother-in-law who at the time worked for the original Arctic Enterprises company. The sweater has black, orange, and yellow stripes. Maybe it will be a collector's item some day.

You're mostly correct Vince. Many North Dakotans talk like us Minnesotans. Some Wisconsinites too.

I think that's Louie Anderson as the gas station attendant.

I hope Henry made er home before the sled rolled out the back of da truck.
