Supermarket carriage + MIT barneys = LOLrio Kart

Gizmodo introduces the world to the LOLrio Kart, a supermarket carriage transformed into a go-cart capable of bombing down Mass. Ave at speeds up to 45 mph.

I’m having nightmarish visions of this thing being mass produced and deployed at the Porter Square Star Market, where I worked when I was in high school, in the mid-nineties. Terrifying.

Of course, the last time a bunch of barneys got ahold of a supermarket carriage, they got sued by the T. One of those students went on to co-found Levant Power, which MHT wrote about earlier this month. Watch Charlie Card hacking/supermarket carriage abusing video after the jump.
