Projects get a load of this....

so i bought a 454 engine right and when the guy delivered it to get it in the back yard for now he puts it in a shopping cart and wheels it back there, if you dont belive it just ask me and i will post some pics of it.

 

My buddy has been cutting up shopping carts for engine stands for years!!!

 

ok post them!

 

Albertsons is pissed.

 

i bet

 

ahh i love it

 

I knew someone would come up with an alternative way to use those oversize shopping carts. Now I expect to see Sam's Club putting a chain and lock on them instead of just lining them up along the building.

Haha I love it! Let me guess how it handled; like a big block in a shopping cart?

Albertsons should be happy for the free plug. Everybody uses shopping carts for something, they are "catch and release". Or is that catch and degrease?

 

so how does he turn a cart to an engine stand?

 

Bet there not "Made in China"

 

Years ago in one of the small mags there was an article on how to cut one up and make a seat for your rod. Came out pretty good too, more like for a drag car than street.

 

"Albertsons is pissed."

Yeah, they don't like thieves................

 

Is that guy on the left Matt Burch from the repo TV show?

 

And you're proud of stealing a $400 cart why?

This is the wrong place to brag about your thieving ways.

I hope you get arrested.

 

That cracks me up!

Reminds me of when I was a kid and my Dad borrows my Red flyer wagon, then I find a Triumph Spitfire engine sitting in it.

that's what I call a "grocery getter"!

i know it was a bad joke.....i'm a ****er for low hanging fruit.

 

Dude, it's a Chevy motor! I see guys with shopping carts like that walking out of Pep- Boys all the time.

 

I've still got that magazine out in my storage.

Most of the shopping carts around here now are plastic so that blows the idea of carrying an engine in one.

 

that aint a bad idea, i know were i can get some

 

If it were made in China, it would probably fold up like a lawn chair!

 

why would you hope such a thing, i didnt steal i am overseas deplyed in afgainstan thats how the guys brought to the back yard bub

 

Just an idea here: having a shopping cart in your possession doesn't necessarily mean that you've stolen it. Some stores find it easier to discard than repair damaged ones.

 

Everyone has a different way to skin a cat.

 

That's great!
When I worked in Hunts Point in the Bronx a while back, you'd see homeless(***umed) people pushing shopping carts full of s**** metal all the time and I swear that some of the loads were so big they probably wouldn't have fit into the bed of a pickup!! it was ingenuity at it's best,err worst?

Pretty funny. Your Trailer Park Boys avatar reminds me of the shopping cart episode

 

No wonder the price of food is going out of reach.

Theirs no respect for anyones stuff anymore,

I don't care what it is ,

IF it ain't yours leave it the **** alone...

Its still stealing and like it or not who ever takes it is a theft..

 

Borrowing and stealing are two different things. That's some funny ****.

 

All this for a shopping cart???

Interesting..........

 

I think I was behind them in the express checkout lane. "PRICE CHECK, REGISTER 3 !!!"
