Hello!

[Rippen11]

I'm James, from Winston-Salem, NC. For the past 19 years, I've wanted a kart, and couldn't afford one until now. Now I've got 2 of them, which are coincidentally the same kart. I'm working on rebuilding one from the ground up, and riding the other one that actually works.

Two years ago I had none, now I have built one kart, almost finished another, a third & a motorised scooter in construction, 3 minibikes/frames, half a dozen lawn mowers & a trailer to lug it all around, all crammed into my garage.

My point: it doesn't take long for this hobby to take over your life...

Haha, I'm real excited about it.

It's taken up a whole lot of my time and money already, but I love it.

The backstory; Me and my buddy both wanted to get a kart. So he picked up two of them, and brought them to my house to store. They both came from 2 different states, but were posted on Craigslist within 3 hours of each other, and are coincidentally the exact same kart. A week later, he decided he wanted a bigger, faster kart, so I bought his off of him. I went from 0 to 1 to 2 in the span of a week.
