Snowmobile - Wikipedia article
Description: A snowmobile (or snow scooter, often referred to by enthusiasts as a 'sled' and in the Canadian north and Alaska as a 'snowmachine') is a land vehicle propelled by one or two rubber tracks, with skis for steering. They are designed to be operated on snow and ice, and require no road or trail. Most snowmobiles are typically powered by two-stroke gasoline/petrol internal combustion engines. Even though they are not designed for it, snowmobiles will skim on top of water if the speed is high enough, as demonstrated by the annual snowmobile river drag race in Kautokeino, Norway. Summertime occupations for snowmobile enthusiasts can also involve drag racing on grass or even asphalt strips. People that drive them are commonly known as snowmobilers.

Skipper (boating) - Wikipedia article
Description: A skipper is a man who has command of a boat or ship. It is more or less equivalent to "captain". At sea he has absolute command over his men. He may or may not be the owner of the boat.
The word is derived from the Dutch word schipper; schip is Dutch for "ship". In Dutch sch- is pronounced [s-kh-] (not [sh] as in German), and English-speakers rendered this as [sk-].
The word "skipper" is used more than "captain" for some types of craft, for example trawlers.
In U.S. Navy slang, it is a term used in reference to the Commanding officer of any Ship, Unit, Platoon, or Detachment regardless of rank. It is generally only applied to someone who has earned the speaker's respect.

Police Car - Wikipedia
Description: A police car is a vehicle used by police forces around the world to patrol, temporarily detain and transport individual criminal suspects.
Such vehicles are known variously around the world as police cruiser, squad car, prowler, radio car, panda car, area car, scout car or patrol car. In some places a police car may also be nicknamed a cop car, a cherry top or a jam sandwich.
Use of the police car has largely replaced the tradition of officers or constables "walking a beat" in most jurisdictions. Advocates of community policing have asked police departments to encourage constables to spend less time in their vehicles and more time walking the streets and interacting with the community.
With the advent of highways and motorways, special patrols have been established to monitor traffic offenses as well as engage suspects in flight. Highway and motorway patrols may use special pursuit cars that are designed for safe handling at higher speeds.
