What is this? On craigslist NOW

[7thofa2nd]

I saw this on craigslist and it looks like a deal... $150!!!

But, what is it? Kinda looks a little like a Rupp GoJoe, but not quite.

I know, huh? It's just that I have 4 go-kart and 3 minibike projects in my small garage now, and I sure wouldn't want that left outside. Plus, I doubt it would fit in my Ford Escape. I'm sick about passing it up.

Could rent a trailer if your Escape has a towing package. Tarps are cheap at Menards and Home Depot.

It doesn't look like I'd take much... and, that Lauson engine.

All that's true... but I'm in the city and I'm already to the point where my outside $#it is probably irritating my nice neighbors. Besides... my Escape is a deathtrap with all the undercarriage rust... in 12 days I head to South Carolina to pick up its replacement, my new Jeep Grand Cherokee. I'll be down there for a month visiting family, and that prize find would be sitting in my drive just begging to be karted off.

Aww SAWEET! It's a 2 stroke Lawson engine too! That thing would ROCK! Might be original for all I know.

I'm sure itsid will come soon and make us all look dumb.

I hope itsid does, I always like his input. I'd just like to know what the kart is that I showed. I know it's a deal... and I just sent the guy an email. I really do want it... maybe I could keep it at my sister's place till I return in Feb. ****, if it doesn't fit IN my Escape, I could just houst it up and strap it to the luggage rack.

Now that's the spirit! Or even find a cheap storage locker for a couple months like a 8x8.

NOooooo... I'm anti-storage-locker. I spent $30,000 on storage in CA in 5 years... no more... E V E R ! ! !

If I get it, my sister WILL keep it there for a month.

 

[Kartorbust]

$500 a month for frickin storage? Well I guess it is California so I'm not that surprised...800% more expensive to live there. And here I thought $44 a month was expensive.

Yeah I'm doing that with my quad, it's up at my dad's place until we get a house with a shed/garage. Hard to store a small quad in an apartment.

Yep... I could have put everything (but my Posche) out at the curb and been ahead.
