I am tempted by this. The guy says it "needs TLC and doesn't run," but it look pretty well done and he's only asking $150. I doubt I would fit in it...

Dude. The title of this thread should have been past tense:
"I was tempted by this Indy-Style go cart...
... so I bought it and it was every bit as awesome as it looks"
Stop thinking just buy.
An awful lot of work to throw a jitterbug motor into. They could at least have put an R1 motor in 
Make sure the welds on the roll bar aren't really silicone.
Unfortunately if I bought that I'd probably just end up ripping out the interior and most of the bodywork for weight savings.
Don't use your brain, use your wallet.
Looks fun, but gokart with handlebars and not a steering wheel really sort a bug me. It's weird.
This thing is in the St. Louis area in case anyone is interested. I have too many projects already and there's no way I'll be able to get to this.
95% sure I have those same tires on my Snapper lawnmower. Carlisle Turf Savers. Not sure if they'll save the asphalt though.
This thing is a HF Predator 6.5hp engine away from awesomeness.

This car is awesome in that the driver restraint system is basically an iron pipe in front of your 'nads.

You've not been Karting much, have you? That's basically how all Karts are configured, the only thing keeping you from grinding your nads into your stomach is the angle of the seat, your feet on the pedals and your arms on the wheel.

Karts at least have deeply bucketed seats and usually a nice wide fuel tank in front of your bits. This thing is basically a ski jump to nut town.

Do we still have COTD around here? If so, I vote for this.

That's the collision avoidance system
I think if all cars were designed like this, we'd have better drivers on the road. Or at least the bad ones wouldn't reproduce.

I went to college with a kid that told me he installed the rollbar in his civic by tacking it and making a bead of caulk look like a weld so he would be able to pass tech at mid ohio. I wonder if that killed him sometimes or if he escaped the clutches of darwinism
