We prove a Harnack inequality for a class of two-weight degenerate ellipticoperators. The metric distance is induced by continuous Grushin-type vectorfields. It is not know whether there exist cutoffs fitting the metric balls.This obstacle is bypassed by means of a covering argument that allows the useof rectangles in the Moser iteration.
