    I'd look at it from a much more practical standpoint and assess its real-world grocery shopping capabilities. I think slicks would probably give better traction on a tile or concrete floor, and to me, the stance looks awfully wide to be getting around young moms with two or three kids hanging off their carts.

    I was jus thinking of all the torque of a big electric motor running high amps, going through slicks to a freshly waxed floor

    Food City has one of those every year at the Bristol race.

    One year two radio personalities took off with it and made several unauthorized laps around the speedway. It did not end well for them.
