Real Life Mario Kart Is Closer to Reality Than You Think

Chances are that you’ve already seen this somewhere on the internet over the past couple days, but this is just too sweet to pass up. Nintendo and West Coast Customs (yeah, the guys that inadvertently inspired this meme) teamed up to create real life car(t)s from Mario Kart for the L.A. Auto Show.

While they didn’t drive them around in the video, everyone insists that they are fully functional, which better mean that they shoot giant turtle shells out at people in their way on the road. Of course, if they were truly accurate, then there would be a serious increase in DUIs in the 18-24 year old male demographic surrounding college campuses. I guess it’s for the best that we leave the beer and shells out of the equation. Don’t drink and drive, kids.
