>one small rock or a stick and you're hung up.

OP, don't steal.
B-b-but anon the store was closing!
When a business closes they sell all of their assets. This especially true is they closed due to being unprofitable.

Okay bubbles.

Not that guy, but metal fume fever is all too real.

Who knows what an old random cart is made out of, and what it may put off when you burn it

Take deep into a nature trail and chain it to a tree.

Seconding.
If you cut the bottom rack and wheel holder off and flip it over, it makes a good start for a go kart frame. I made mine with 2 shopping carts and some scrap given to me by a friend. Here's an old pic of it.

I laughed way too hard at that!

>chainsaw engine
Fucking shit. The engine doesn't have the torque or the build quality. Electric or go kart engine is the way to go.

ya, wee need plans. PLEASE!! What are you using for the shocks?

Kill yourself, when you're stealing stuff while you don't even know what to do with it you're a serious asshole with a serious problem.

You don't see many galvanized shopping carts, most of them are chrome plated.
>>

Alright, gimme a couple hours and I'll draw something to help you get started. I'd draw this in CAD, but I don't have a program, so instead I'll draw the basics of making this in some kinda paint info graphic I guess. I'll also link places to where I got the major components.
>>
>>906292
When I said hours, I meant more like 3 days. I'm making a little info graph on how to make the frame from shopping cart parts right now.

metall fume fever
wikipedia says that back in the days workers in smelterys had become that

okay
-making bbq in an shopingcart in the evening

-working in an smeltery the half day and casting brass

clearly the same
>>
>>906212
A lot are zinc plated, from looks you wont be able to tell the difference. Not that cooking something on industrial chrome plating is a good idea in its own right.

>>906486
Its not hard at all to get zinc poisoning when messing with galvanized or zinc plated materials.
Not only would you have fumes, you would have it offgassing directly into your food.

Its a fucking retarded idea.
>>
>>906565
So why not take the barnacle bits off like wheels and stuff.

Then make a fucking huge bonfire (but not too big) and put the trolley in / on it and burn it all off in one go

Then you have a BBQ with all the poison ready burnt off

It's retarded but just thinkin.

OP make a rave trolley and find raves to go to (unless you're a wanker In which case stay away from raves)

Not OP, but snag is common slang for getting a really good deal on something in my area. He may have actually bought it.
>>
>>905495
Why not do the obvious thing and keep it in the garage to move groceries from the car to the kitchen without having to carry them or make several trips. My mother flat out bought one just for that.
>>
>>906565
Zinc boils at fucking 2000 degrees, autist. You don't need anywhere close to that to have a fucking bbq.

Place a small tracking device within its handles. Abandon it somewhere. Track it down after some months have passed. Bring it back to your home. Nurse it back to good health. Repeat process. I have done this with several carts over the years. Once tracked down an old cart and found that a homeless man was letting his dog sleep in it. I shed a tear. It found its purpose.

Dude, don't worry, I'll post the shopping cart infograph in its own thread when I'm done with it. I have a bunch of work to do, so I can't really finish it any time soon.

Do what they did with the grocery cart in this music video.
