Re: Grandpa's new toy
We had one when the boys were little and ran the wheels off of it. I am firm believer in getting kids started young with anything they can steer, go carts, lawnmowers, tractors,any experience they get goes a long way in making them better drivers when they hit the road. Besides we had a blast and we will again because you know my 29 and 27 year old sons will be just as excited as I am.
And now that you mention it Tony, If Tom 2112 gets his trailer hitch figured out we could all put it thru the paces at Carlisle
And sorry +fireamx, not looking to adopt, I'm thinkig you would be pretty "high maintanence"

Well the cops tore up the ticket they gave to the kid, so I'm sure he really learned a lesson from the whole ordeal.

Now that looks like fun! Throw on some wide tires if you can and be sure to wear a helmet gramps! My grandaughter loves driving in my SRT-6 and at age 2 she always yells WEEEEEEEEE when I step on the gas! I'll have to get me a little side toy like yours someday! Good luck playing a lot!
Re: Grandpa's new toy
Looks like my dad's go-kart. He is of similar mindset with the grandkid as well. He has my near 4 y/o nephew on the lawmower helping him steer/ride along. Has a go kart, numerous power wheels, and pedal powered cars. My nephew loves it and does suprisingly well on the power wheels. He is still too young for the go-kart or mower by himself ;-). If its like my dad's go kart becareful, his is a belt drive system. The belt tends to slip which causes the belt to burn. The belt is hard to locate and somewhat expensive for being such a small belt. Enjoy your rides.

Plus I need someone to help me install my manifolds, you interested Rick?
We can also do some beer-can research on that trailer hitch.
