🚜 In the Mountains of the Black Sea, Technology Just Leveled Up!

Somewhere deep in Turkey’s Black Sea highlands, one man’s determination to reach the yayla (mountain pasture) turned into an act of pure engineering. He took an old model Toros car—and turned it into a tracked snow machine.
Yes, you heard right: a Tracked Toros.

He didn’t give up. He didn’t slow down. He even removed the steering wheel entirely!
“Who needs a steering wheel these days?” he must’ve thought.
Instead, he built a braking-based steering system: press the right brake to turn right, left brake to turn left.
Stop completely? Well… that part is still “up to fate.”

Cars run on tires, sure—but this beast glides over snow like a tank.
To avoid tire spinning on the snowy trails of the highlands, he installed his own DIY tracks.
Cost of materials? 8,000 TL.
But the craftsmanship? Priceless.

The invention was taken seriously enough to get a test drive on Hıdırnebi Plateau.
And the criticism? Of course it came.
But this is the Black Sea—we’ve got the perfect response:

🗣️ “Plenty of opinions, but the road is ours!”

The inventor summed it up best:

“We just did what made sense to us.”

No engineering degree needed—just heart, hands, and a whole lot of local spirit.

The snow in the Black Sea region might not melt,
but once you put tracks on a Toros,
the mountains sure do. ❄️🔥
