Jul 1 2009Every Kid's Dream: Shopping Buggy Racecart
Let's face it, we've all had the idea, but these folks actually followed through and did it. Not some halfassed job either, they actually made this thing legit (videos after jump). Oh man -- if only they had these on Supermarket Sweep...imagine the carnage!
Hit it for two videos showing off the impressiveness.

Thanks to Julian, who once crashed into the canned vegetables and had to be jaws-of-life'd out of his cart.

That's retarded.
And the only chicks you can pick up are the ones that never made it out of the egg.

Just realized today is Canada day. I'd like to tip my hat to all our moose-humping brethren to the north.
Have a great one!

@6
It's moosen humping. Geez, do I have to correct everyone?

You know that think corners for shit... it has a really high center of gravity.
They should include some video of a guy cutting a corner too tight and getting thrown out in a nice tangential trajectory, head first into a telephone pole.
It's bitchin' on the straight-away though.

It's somethings magic because Harry Potter is steering it.
So don't believe that, the motor is just fake.

lol, the second video: is he making he's own version of google street view?
I hope I see him soon

FAKE!!!!
This is a complete photoshop job. You can tell its a fake because the shadow's are all wriong.
This is exactly like that scene int he movie Never Back Down where Max was sitting in a lawn chair sipping iced tea watching Baja cut the grass. One of the neighborhood women saw this and said - you shouldn't let a woman cut the grass for you. You should be hung. Max replied I am hung, thats why she doesn't mind.

The only thing that would make it more impressive is if they would pile groceries on top of the guy. .....and he wore an empty milk container as a helmet.

23. Furry_Vengence - July 1, 2009 5:22 PM
It's okay, I would want one just for a vanity thing to drive around.
@#8 I was actually hoping to see that in the vids.
@Daisy You suck and I hope you see this since your reply was totally retarded and everyone who read it is now stupider for just that reason. I jk although that is still by my standards a stupid type of post but your "bad taste fans" seem to eat that up.
24. GoGo VicMorrow - July 1, 2009 6:45 PM
i wish you would have posted clips of supermarket sweep instead. not because this is unimpressive, but because super market sweep was f**king awesome.
