Seems like I never have enough inside space to store junk.
For the last few months I've been driving past this thing for sale every day when I go to work. It belonged to a customer of mine. He wanted $700 safetied and all. One day his son came in for parts so I sent a lowball offer home with the son. Sure enough, next morning bright and early at work the call comes to come and pick up my new storage shed! Even got to drive it home legally on his plates since it was still insured.

For 250 bucks I couldn't say no. Oh, and on the farm it doubles as the driver's education vehicle for the kids! That explains a bit of mud sprayed up on the quarters behind the wheels!!!

Those are great vehicles. I just sold ours a couple months ago. Bought it new in 98 and put 200 thousand kilometres on it, it was an AWD and would go anywere. Packed alot of kids to hockey, soccer, skihills, and so on. They sure don't hold there value though. I had bought a GM pickup at the same time for around the same money and in 3 years the van was only worth half of what the pickup was. My wife loved it though, sat nice and high on the road and was good for towing the boat.
Yeah, they are having fun with it. The go cart didn't see many miles this summer. Gone to the lake too much.
More of a novelty to be able to drive a real vehicle, especially for a 12 year old! It's got quite a few scratches down the side already from running it on the narrow go cart paths!

Bet the kids love it compared to the go-cart with no brakes!
