Default Off Road Go Kart

I'm considering dropping some of my money that i have saved up on one of these. What do you guys think? Just plain retarded or worth it?

http://www.powersportsmax.com/produc...ducts_id/11451

P.S. - i have alot of money saved up and i want to spend some of it (less than half) on something badass... i like things that have engines and drive around lol... if yall have any ideas of cool things i could get let me know. i'm gonna be a senior in highschool next year and then i'm going to college after that so i guess keep that in mind.

It may look bad ass but you will be bored of it in no time at all.I had one but 250 and it wasnt fast enough to have fun.IMO one of those honda pilots in a 350 would be what you want and you could find one used for cheap.

hmm alot of people are saying it will get old but i have a serious interest in vehicles and stuff of this nature... for some reason i dont think i will get bored of it but thats what everyone is saying.

as for speed, it maxes at ~45 mph.. thats pretty fast i think so i dunno about getting a 250 much less a 350!!

thanks for your input. i appreciate it.

oh i just realized what a shifter kart is.. lol i like the more off road geared karts. a shifter kart is the really low to the ground go karts that race around tracks.. the off road one goes 45 tho so thats still pretty dam fast IMO

ive always wanted one but i think a fourwheeler (atv) would be more practical for me. i dont do deserts or beaches, only woods and trails. but a dune buggy or sand rail would be awesome to build
