Hell yeah! I want a Yoshi Kart one but I'd take that Mario one! They should do a whole line of it.

During its L.A. Auto Show presentation today, Nintendo revealed life-size Mario Karts built in collaboration with West Coast Customs. Two karts were recreated from vehicles seen in Mario Kart 7. The first is based on Mario's Standard Kart and features a glider attachment, and the second is based on Luigi's Bumble V Kart and features a rear propeller for swimming underwater.

"We've played Mario Kart games for years, so it's a dream come true to bring these karts to life," said West Coast Customs CEO Ryan Friedlinghaus. "We think people will be blown away by seeing these cool video game vehicles in person."

The karts will be on display throughout the week at the L.A. Auto Show, which runs from November 18th through November 27th. Fans will have the opportunity to win one of the karts through GameStop's PowerUp Rewards program. Members of PowerUp Rewards Pro will receive two entries with each purchase at GameStop or gamestop.com through December, and a winner will be announced in February.

Though I doubt the founder of West Coast Customs is that big of a MK fan, his company definitely did a good job on those rigs and I see Reggie also approves.:lol I can imagine the whole Nintendo crew showing up with a motorcade of these bad boys.

I'm sure they do. Usually when people do this sort of thing they make them able to run also. I would love to own one of those and drive to work every day in it. Hopefully no blue shells come my way. >.>
