THIS GUY HAS LOST ALL HIS MARBLES NO FREAKING WAY I WOULD RIDE IT

lol why would someone waste all that money for that go kart, you could buy a car with that money

For the adrenaline rush. Cars don't get my blood pumping like they used to, motorcycles are fun to an extent, but laying on the ground pushing anything over 50mph is exhilarating. I done this in my other kart with no cage & no seat belt on a hilly curvy backroad. When the front wheel bearing broke I thought I was toast. Lucky for me I stopped it before wrecking. I fixed the wheel, put on a different motor, limited the speed to about 15mph & gave it to my son. My new one is caged with a harness & the motor is the same one used in early Formula 500 cars. Should be a blast, but if not I'll be dishing this out. Don't let the fanciness fool you though. I could build that exact same go kart for less than a grand.

I WOULD BE IN SO MUCH TROUBLE IF I HAD A CART LIKE THAT ON THESE COUNTRY BACK ROADS WHERE I LIVE NO WAY A COP COULD CATCH YOU IN THAT THING YOU COULD TAKE CORNERS FASTER THAN HE COULD EVEN THINK ABOUT

Not gonna lie. The first time I got up to about 40mph while laying that close to the ground, I was scared. After I got used to it, I laid the hammer down & probably got around 50 mph judging by how fast I passed my buddy on a motorcycle. This was just with a modified Briggs flathead motor & good gearing. Can't wait to get a twin cylinder two stroke on one. Not really an experience I can describe.

On a side note, please show me a rat rod that cost under a grand to purchase, build, & be drivable. It can't be done & even if it was possible, it wouldn't be as fun.

x2

Besides, no car corners like those carts to. It's just physically impossible.

I believe the end of this discussion would be, "Don't knock it till you try it."

ite, well guess its fun for you guys id much rather have a car that i can drive everywhere legally.

I live in the country with miles of backroads & hardly ever see police out here in the boondocks. I could literally drive about 3 hours without going on the same road twice & still never go into a town. Backroads around here are all mostly paved & will take you around the outskirts of all of the towns. IDK I guess us country boys can have more fun than you city slickers, LoL!

are you joking rago!? i live in the boon docks like you

And you never had any grown up toys? I don't know what I would do without them. Oh yeah that's right...... I'd probably already have my car running. Still yet ATVs, go karts, dirtbikes, mini choppers, etc. are just too much fun to pass up for me.

oh i love fourwheelers and dirtbikes, and hell even them pittbikes

but cant say im into go karting lmao
i skateboard
