Well I say this of course colored by the area I grew up in and now live. There's no good place for a kid to drive a go-kart around my town, that's why they're illegal on the streets or sidewalks in our town. It's a suburban area, but a rather populated one. There's too high a chance a kid would come into contact with another car. A real car.

If you can get out to a dirt track or whatever then I can see how it's a little more doable.

More than that though, I just think this is ridiculous. If I'm going to spend $32,000 on something, it better be cool. But this makes the kid in the photo look like a friggin dork.

Power Wheels has a nice Corvette. The hood opens and radio works! You can modify it for power too.

Ah, yeah. I grew up, and still live, on a farm. I essentially had several square miles of woods and pasture land to do whatever I wanted. I took full advantage of it.

(don't tell matty that I might be a redneck...he won't like me anymore)

My Dad grew up on a farm... that's not my idea of a redneck though.

But you're a high-tech redneck. That's like Redneck Bourgeios

This is true (was wondering if anyone remembered...). I'm a bit of an enigma. By day, I write software; by night, I go mud bogging and shoot flat screen TVs. My city job pays for my country lifestyle.
