Shopping Cart/Trolley?

Where can I find those shopping carts or trolleys? Smaller than those cumbersome metal ones. I want something pretty... it's a gift... fall colors would be nice.

    They do not appear to have fall colors, though.

    They have red and orange, that's fall colors! You could always do your own paint job with some spray paint.

    If you just want one of the folding carts, you can usually find them at larger hardware, and grocery stores. The big supermarkets in NYC all sell them. They are really a great thing to have in the city for taking your laundry and doing your grocery shopping and they fold up for easy storage in small apartments.

    All the dollar stores on 5th ave. have them, no need to go all the way to Home Depot or Lowes (unless you have a car, and if so, will you drive me there please? :D ). If you don't see a color you like, why not weave colorful ribbons in between the metal. Even as just a gift wrap idea, could be cute.

    Airbrush flames, all grease lightnin' style.

    My vote.

    And wheelie bars.

    is this race going to happen again this year? The site has no info. ...instead of midnight bike ride in Jan, we could enter cart race.

    I'd bet that it's on. They've been doing it for years. They seem to always play it close to the vest and/or they're just slow in getting details out.

    I have to tell you all...I hate shopping carts. I don't know what it is, but when I see one I want to destroy it.

    These guys are helping me with it, though: http://www.shoppingcartabuse.com/

    I don't know, I guess I'm a traditionalist. I like the extra leg room too.

    On top of the frozen food at Keyfood on 7th Ave. check out my ebay for a coupon.

    I'm going to "watch this item" and throw down in the last minute. They won't know what hit'em!

    one of my best purchases ever was a cart from the container store in manhattan.. it's got a great handle that makes it easier to lug a shopping trip's worth of groceries up the steps.. it has a soft lid on it.. and it's pretty darn attractive too.
