    My wife sent me this with the caption:

    "I wonder if that counts as extra axles...more weight allowed?"

    LOL... Absolutely hilarious!!!

    A shopping cart with ~165 lbs in it is stable to about 30-35 mph.


    However, it becomes wildly unstable once the car is no longer pushing.


    Oh, and if said ballasted cart happens to impact a curb, the basket will separate from the frame and basket and ballast will tumble across the intersecting roadway resulting in minor bruising and road-rash.


    Or so I have been told.

    Not sure... My wife found it online. But thats obviously on the interstate, so I'm sure hes moving way faster than that cart has ever gone before.

    I kinda wonder about his pre trip. Look back in the mirror and see if the trailer is there and then launch?
    I'd like to be there when he crosses his next set of scales. I'll bet he gets his picture on the Wall of Shame for that one.
