Another competely useless Hazel purchase that goes against the grains of common sense. So naturally I did it anyway.
The 11th floor of the Peterson building houses the staffs of Four Wheeler, 4-Wheel & Off-Road, Diesel Power, and Jp Magazine along with a bunch of ad vermin, our higher-ups, and our web guy, Jason. We usually all walk to a local food joint to have lunch together. It was at one of these lunches I casually mentioned my desire to buy my son one of those 12V ride-on Jeeps you see in the toy stores.
4-Wheel & Off-Road's Jerrod Jones handily offered up his childhood Manco Dingo go-kart for an absurdly low price. So, for the cost of a few tacos, a replacement carburetor, and gas to and from Jerrod's pad, I nabbed my kid a cool, fully functional ride. The problem is that the stupid thing is powered by a 6hp Tecumseh engine and goes 40mph! Also, because of the integral roll cage, both of us don't fit in it, so I can't even drive him around in it. So, long story short, I got myself a go kart that goes 40mph. It's only a matter of time until I kill myself in it.
