I used it as a parts mover at first but always wanted to make it a go-kart. As you see in its current state I started to cut it down. 
 

I was going to use a motorcycle engine, but then the planning in my head went too wild. Then I was just going make a basic HF Predator engined kart. But I have too much in other projects I want to do and realize the few hundred into a kart doesn't make sense. 
 

So build a kart or a frame and wheels again for its original intent or whatever. Ramps and the dolly it's on are not included, just the cart.

Will I be able to ride (push?) it back to Chicago?

Would not recommend, while riding in a shopping cart is fun as a child, they aren't sized well for adults, especially long road trips.

Yeah but this is a classic early 2000s KMart cart. They just don't make these anymore...

I have a chrome one in Michigan if there is interest, sorry to thread jack.

Last fall I shoved it outside in hopes that someone would steal it, but now it is just starting to rust...I mean Patina.

I was almost going to add that in. 
 

I'll do another classic for sale thing. Insert random picture of someone else's item for inspiration.

That's actually pretty rad.

Doesn't look very safe, but still rad.
