Snowmobiles can fly. Anything that goes farther than the Wright brothers at Kittyhawk is really flying
On December 17, 1903, Orville Wright piloted the first powered airplane 20 feet above a wind-swept beach in North Carolina. The flight lasted 12 seconds and covered 120 feet.
Three more flights were made that day with Orville's brother Wilbur piloting the record flight lasting 59 seconds over a distance of 852 feet

Levi LaVallee went 361 feet on a snowmobile

Streetcars, were good for more than just public transportation... did you know they were used to plow snow along their route?
read about plowing snow with street cars: http://cincystreetcar.wordpress.com/2009/01/
I like that many were made into little diners. See the inside of one at the Henry Ford museum https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgzixxX3BlWM-v-IP3xCFKV0W0vDfT72S2iDKMlVwx2ToX52ol1nqe1kjeIeAV5JKp-opcIw7xcYHWUsMozhm_PlLZ-WOwVHlUnkcAO79pzaiuXOC9lJuKrFJy3_l_dxidROvdy29B_ImY/s1600/Henry%2520Ford%2520Diner%5B1%5D.jpg it is the nicest I've seen, most are far more simple and less ornamentalSome were made into houses: http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2009/09/street-cars-getting-second-life-as-home.html
And in San Diego I found one diner street car, and two homes made from street cars http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2008/06/survivors-of-era-i-doubt-anyone-else.html
