The Go-Cart You Will Soon be Driving

I'm genuinely alarmed because two days ago I purchased a full-sized van that would literally run over one of these things. The upside is that with $50 per gallon gas coming, I probably only have about five years to drive it. By then, a couple of the kids will be out of the picture and the hemp-powered micro-van I will have purchased by then will be adequate.
