Looks like a wheelbarrow on a powerwheels chassis. College kids hop up those electric powerwheels and race them.
I think it is a great idea. Pull the headlights, grill and tail lights from you favorite wrecked car and bolt them to your kart.

I have read that if the commies drop an electro magnetic pulse bomb on us, electronic ignition engines will not run, but older engines with points and condensers will still run.

I watched a documentary a few weeks back about a town in Nova Scotia that was hit by a "super bolt" of lightening.
It is rare, but it has an effect similar to the emf bomb, that shuts down electronics.
The super bolt will also blow out windows over a large area, and even knocked down some walls.
Don't take lightening for granted.

Remember when you had to "grease the chassis" every oil change? That was fun.

I could ride the big Kymco home from PA this time of year.

Aretha Franklin, singer, song writer and piano player, died today.
She always had my R-E-S-P-E-C-T.
Rest well, Aretha.

"You missed the greatest days since the roaring twenties..."
I wouldn't mind spending a day in the 1920s either. I have been watching Miss Fisher's Mysteries on PBS.
It is set in the 1920s. I'd love to taker her Hispano Suiza for a spin.

Lucy and Ethel were meaner because wives are mean.

I only lived a couple of months back in the 50s. I sure would like to go back for a night and cruise in a 1957 Bellair.
I remember hearing the song, 77 Sunset Strip on the television but I was too young to really watch it.
Ironically, I binge-watched a bunch of 77 Sunset Strip episodes one weekend back in the spring. I think it was aired on Decades network.

They were playing that Arlo Guthry motorcycle song on the radio about the same time that Bye Bye Miss American Pie was released, if memory serves.

I remember that Arlo Guthry tune. A few years after hearing it, I had my first motorcycle.

Didn't NYC ban electric bicycles? That's odd since traditional 70s style mopeds are still legal there.

It was great to watch the Ali fights on Wide World of Sports. The big bouts are all pay per view now.

Remember when we found out that Paris plans to ban scoots and motorcycles older than 1966 or so? Hanoi plans to ban all Scooters and small motorcycles from roads within the city limits by 2030. Why? To force people to ride public transportation for cleaner air and to reduce the climbing vehicle accident rates. I hate to see that happen to the scooter capital of the world.

Not bad for a scoot that cost you way under a grand.
