Thumbs up First GoCart
I have been waiting for this day for quite a while and we finally got all the little details done. We bought this having never ridden in or driven a factory five and I was pleasantly surprised at the ride even with 4 link in the rear. Acceleration is wicked and my GT mustang now feels like a Geo Metro when driving it. I know.......no video didn't happen so here you go. In my mind it is now a functioning car and everything else is just cosmetic.....good times

Here we are terrorizing the neighborhood with open headers

Congratulations!!! BIG milestone.

I've only driven mine on and off a trailer. If I tried a spin in my neighborhood the cops would be there in 5 min and tow my car away. It's like Russia here except the cops don't take bribes....

Howdy MN12,

Congrats on the milestone! Your daughter had a blast!

I hope to be able to go-cart my Spyder by Halloween.
