It's a kids go cart. It runs good. I'm not sure what brand it is, but I think it's a 5 hp. Bought it from my cousins friend for $30 bucks. I think it's 3-4 years old.

Bought it to resale....

Wow nice. One of these days, I want to learn how to weld and make myself one.

Haha, my cousin, uncle, and myself built one when I was 10...

It was scary fast, it had a 3 speed, I hit 3rd gear... once!

My uncle had a big pond that was drying out, basically just mud. One day I said "see if it'll go through the pond."

I was like "no way, I'll get stuck!"

His response "not if you go fast enough."

That was the day I hit 3rd gear... wrapped it out 2nd gear going into the pond, about half way through it I nailed 3rd and it came alive... spun sideways coming up the other side of the pond bank... At that time I was doing probably 30mph and literally went air borne.... sideways!

Went I finally landed about 20ft away (still sideways) it ripped the rear end out of the go cart and basically destroyed it... and that was the last time the go cart was ever ridden...

Aww damn I was totally envisioning that too... sounded like an AMAZING STORY lol...

I never rode a home made go-kart... always those pansy-ass ones at the amusement parks... Clearly I've missed out on all the fun in my youth.

It was fun. We also had a Honda Odyssey, which were bad @ss. If you never heard of the odyessy, google search it. It's not the mini van, it's probably my favorite atv ever.

I think I'm going to start looking for one.... here I come craigslist!

I had always wanted a go cart or dune buggy type thing.

The only time I drove one when was when I found a single seater dunebuggy thing while I was out snowmobiling (skidooing). It was stolen (I found out when I called the cops about it) and the cops told me to drive it to the station if I could. So I did. I took the long way there with it... teehee.

Just sold the go cart for $50 bucks to my uncle. Figured his great grand kids could get more use out of it than me... and still made a fast $20 bucks.
