I seen this a few years ago at a Jewels store. Its sounds good as it looks. What fun to do the shopping in this! Easy to work on too. So what do you think? ---

I think some people have too much time on their hands. . . (the fabricator that is, not you oldbodyman) ---

I think that you might have a problem maneuvering that thing down the aisles. **;-))** ---

With grocery prices being what they are, I could see the tab running about 30 grand to fill that thing up… 🙂 ---

I like it. Promotional vehicles such as this used to be more common than they are back when the requirements for being streetworthy were less ponderous. This past weekend I was in an antique store and they had an old black & white photo from the early 1900s of a huge shoe that was a car. One of the legendary builders of a lot of these cars was George Barris, who also built cars for TV shows, including the original Batmobile, the Beverly Hillbilly’s car, the Munstermobile, and many others. The man was a true genius. ---

The first body shop I owned,I would rent out a space to a guy. His dad worked for George Barris. He grew up around Barris’s shop. The things he could do with a sheet of metal was just art work. I watched him make a rear tail panel for a 70 mach 1 Mustang. He did it with just hammers a shot bag. I sill have a home made hammer that belonged to his dad. I sill wonder if it was used on any of the cars you mentioned. The sad thing was this guy would rather drink and do odd jobs,than do body work. ---

A good caption for this would be: The wife wanted a new grocery getter, so I got her this. I sill don’t when I will let back in the house. ---

I’m wondering about wind resistance…great or small? ---

I love it but then I am partial towards shopping carts, having tinkered around making a remote controlled shopping cart years ago. It really had the cart collector at Stop&Shop scratching his head, after it was trying to get away from him. ---

If they had them at Aldis, would it still cost $0.25? ---

“I’m wondering about wind resistance…great or small?” The only thing that resists wind flow is that Jewel-Osco sign. Lose it and only the people stop the wind. And bugs. A bit top heavy though. ---

Honda geeks rejoice. Honda has taken the “shopping cart spoiler” thing and ran with it, like they did the VTEC meter. Expect this to be the redesigned 2016 Civic Si
