Is this kart worth $100

[beansdaddy78]

dang he hasnt answered, its late and i think hes got school in the am so hoping he will reply by morning

i am sorta known for screwing up easy money.

i drove there, 3 hours there, 2hours 20 back, pulled up and seen it was tiny, no way i would have ever fit in it and took off before anyone knew i was there but now im kicking myself in the arse wondering if maybe that wasnt the kart and what if the big one was out back and he just saved a few bucks and painted both the same color. so now i dont know what to do somehow im gonna find out how big it is to see if its worth going at again, cause if its normal size i would hate to miss out on it but if its a midget ill pass

So you drove for three hours, just to turn back because the kart was small, and it might not have even been the one you were looking at in the ad! Did it have the same seat as the pic, the same roll cage? . If it were me, I would have had a look at the anyway. I just drove three hours!! Even if it was just to stretch my legs and tell the dude that the kart is a bit small. That was a lott of gas wasted for nothing

i was actually going to the town next to it to grab another motor, so i figured it wasnt too big a deal but now im really kickin myself in the arse about not stopping. but i got him to reply and hes open for me to snag it tomorrow, waiting for him to measure it and get back to me now.

once he told me it was a murray, a google image search shows me it may be a kilowatt, im still looking though, if anybody knows for sure let me know. I told the kid to keep the psp

One wheel drive, right?

i just went out and spun one wheel and the other moved with it, so im gonna say its 2 wheel drive i guess but im not sure what proper terminology is

How'd Toystory put it?!???
