My Granddaughter wanted a go-cart for her 4th birthday, so I bought her this

Her mom and dad were pissed at me (like I care) but the granddaughter was grinin from ear to ear.
She took to drivin it like a champ, only 1 roll over and a few minor crashes, next weekend we learn how well it can jump.
Im jealous... a little much for a 4 year old but nice toy she can enjoy for a long time!!! is that one of those Honda Pilot things??
Made by a company called Twisted Fabrications.
I bought it used so I got a good price. This one tops out at 43mph with an adult (200lbs) on it, I clocked it with my motorcycle this afternoon.
I'm working on a governer to keep the speed around 20-25mph, maybe when she's older we'll let her open it up.
That rocks! I bet the kid's mom loved it to, right? At least its got a rollcage.
That looks really cool! Excellent gift for a young child :party:
My dad was looking at getting the Yamaha Rhino but it's undecided yet.
I wish I had one of those when I was 4
ditto....I'm 22 and I still don't have one. :lol: However, I've been thinking about getting one and a little trailer to put it on. There's a couple places around me that I could run it in, and I think I'd have a blast with it. :party:Quote:

There is a practical side to this... Just think how good she will be able to drive when she gets older.... I hope there is no cell phone holder in that......:lol:
I gave $800, it's a little over a year old but in like new condition. The kid I bought it from got it for Xmas in 2006 then got his drivers license 3 months later, the go cart sat in the garage after that it has 5.5hrs on the engine timer.Quote:

And no there's no cell phone holder in it, but ironically her dad who works for AT&T bought her a phone for her birthday. All I could do was shake my head.
I think my daughters more jealous than mad, doesnt matter I bought it because she kept telling me I couldnt buy a Power Wheels electric cart for the kid. And I didnt buy her a Power Wheels, I bought her something much faster.
You got anymore room in your family for another grandchild? You must be the coolest grandpa ever! What are you going to get her when see truns 16?Quote:
