Wastelands of Suburbia

A place where the cast-off ephemera of the last four generations comes to rest, and is discussed fondly....Like junk, or the injection-molded minutiae of history? Welcome home...Junkyards, yard sales, roadside oddities, thrift stores and more-your memories are deep inside the box, so keep shaking.

NEAT-O!!!


There probably aren't too many of you out there who will appreciate this-not only is it a go-kart (and I mean "go-kart" not the slick "karts" of today with racing engines and four-figure price tags), it has a body. NOT ONLY is it a body, but a vintage Dodge Van body! I can totally see this guy with a vintage-style custom airbrush mural, maybe a Beastmaster theme, or some other Frazetta-inspired work. a nice roof wing to go with and Bob's your uncle, as the Brits say. The asking price is $450 on Craigslist locally here in the Poconos, a bit high for my taste but who knows what offers the guy might take....
