Nintendo x West Coast Customs Make IRL Mario Karts

Nintendo teamed up with West Coast Customs to create two fully functional front-wheel drivereal-life Mario Karts for display at the Los Angeles Auto Show. This is Mario's classic kart here but there's a Luigi bee-mobile or whatever after the jump. Both are impressive and I'd pay upwards of $12 for the opportunity to drive one. "Why $12?" Because that's how much admission to the show costs. I'm gonna steal one and drive it home on the freeway! *slips on own banana peel, gets red-shelled by the po-po*

Hit the jump for a couple closeups and the other car, as well as a link to Autoblog's coverage with even more shots.

    Because there's no such thing as an un-themed wedding anymore, freshly married Erin and Matt posed for these Alice in Wonderland themed photos on the day of their nuptials. Why he opted for the Johnny Depp version of the Mad Hatter from the shitty live-action movie instead of ... / Continue →
