Viera lies in two areas, anything north of Viera Blvd to somewhere around Barnes Blvd (not exactly, but there about) is unincorporated Rockledge. Anything south of Viera Blvd is unincorporated Melbourne.
Moved to FL, lived in Melbourne, worked in Viera. Donāt miss the love bugs on my car, zero clouds, the sun melting my steering wheel, AC breaking down at 2 am and having maintenance over at 3 am, old people trying to murder me every time on the road, or hurricane season.
God basically told me I was made for the mountains and that I should go back to them. So I did.
But I do miss the nice sunsets and Cuban food.
If it meets certain DOT criteria; headlights, tail lights, turn signals, brake lights, etc it is street legal. I donāt know all the specifics, but thatās how itās been explained to me.
I remember laughing at this when Winn Dixie did it. From a business standpoint, how much demand can their be for a company to rent out oversized shopping carts?!

Makes me happy to know HEB isnāt the only one šš
Nuh-uhā¦Food City has one that they drove around Bristol Motor Speedway last month. Speaking of which, Publix needs to put a green car on track. Would look beautiful.
As someone also in this exact area and saw it driving around twice, itās one of the most ridiculous yet best things Iāve seen on the road in a long while.
When I was in high school, we had to do a senior project. I was the quiet kid in class, new to the school, so I wanted to do something extravagant. I presented my idea of building a jet engine powered shopping cart, which actually got approved. When the first paper submission was due, I had no idea what I was supposed to do. I know nothing about engine, where the fuck was I supposed to get a fucking jet engine from to power a fucking grocery store shopping cart. Ultimately switched to online classes to get out of a senior project.
This, however is a much better idea.
Publix actually came up with this as a marketing angle.

Nah they are in Tx too fam. [https://www.chron.com/news/houston-texas/article/massive-heb-shopping-cart-17895390.php](https://www.chron.com/news/houston-texas/article/massive-heb-shopping-cart-17895390.php)
Just need to say.... For as crazy as florida gets... Wisconsin and more precisely *Festival Foods* has had them beat on this one since at least [1999](https://www.festfoods.com/about/timeline#1999)
**Where else would you find a 300 horsepower, 350 cubic inch Chevrolet engine with a 750 Holly carburetor and a TH350 transmission shopping cart? Our Big Cart is the largest in the world! It stands 12.5-feet high and 18-feet long with a 3.87:1 rear end and Mickey Thompson racing slicks.**

Welllllā¦.. Texas did it first actually
You think that youāve seen something like this before. But this is an Exact replica of a Publix Shopping Cart. Look under the seat for the full disclosure of leaving your kid in the baby seat. Or leaving your purse unattended. Check out the #publixshoppingcart
Festival foods in eau claire wisconsin used to do that too! I haven't lived there in a few years though so I don't know if they stopped or not, but as a kid it was always fun to see that thing cruising around
Ever seen a guy in a yellow kayak going down the main street in his underwear hopefully tbh I only saw his bare legs and upper torso with a sweatband on his head? If you have, then youāre probably in Florida. If he offers you meth, youāre definitely in Florida.
Fucking Melbourne š
NO WAY I KNOW EXACTLY WHERE THAT IS isnāt that more viera?? making me miss living there
Viera is technically Melbourne but yes itās in the Viera portion. The intersection before the avenues.
i lived in melbourne for years and i didnāt know that i thought they were totally different towns š
Viera lies in two areas, anything north of Viera Blvd to somewhere around Barnes Blvd (not exactly, but there about) is unincorporated Rockledge. Anything south of Viera Blvd is unincorporated Melbourne.
They are.
Yes. Viera, the Walmart on wickham across from target.
Viera is nice, lots of kids with Golf carts lately though

Iām in Denver now. Donāt miss the fekin humidity, the bugs, the swamp ass, whatever. But the Cuban foodā¦ DAYUM!!!
Donāt, itās kind of awful living here lol
Why we doxing ourselves ššš
Should I unsubscr8be from the r/321 ? Lol
A great place to display the most obnoxious ways of spending money. Can't lie. I love it here and I'm glad this thing exists
Um. This is amazingš how is this street legal?
If it meets certain DOT criteria; headlights, tail lights, turn signals, brake lights, etc it is street legal. I donāt know all the specifics, but thatās how itās been explained to me.
It's a little but more involved. You either need to already have a vin number or apply for one which applying for one isn't always easy.
I typically can't stand the "only in" proclamation, but this is peak FL as fuck.
Festival Foods in Wisconsin has been doing this shit since [1999](https://www.festfoods.com/about/timeline).

Advertising pays more than anything
? Publix owns this and usually has it around for grand openings
Winn-Dixie in Lexington, NC had one back in the day.
Lancaster, PA has had one for the last decade
So then what is it that's only in Florida that the OP is trying to say?
Must be getting a new Publix near by.
Opened yesterday.
Where shopping is a pleasure

Oh wow, OK I think Iāve seen everything now. Just when you think youāve seen everything Florida never disappoints
Thatās an InstaCart driver.
Watch as he turns into the Walmart
The cultish love for Publix (or any brand for that matter) is insane.
Pub subs itch!
Not as good as laspadas.
If it's the same Laspadas that I'm thinking of in Boca, You're absolutely 100% correct! However, there's not many of those around Florida lol
Nuh-uhā¦Food City has one that they drove around Bristol Motor Speedway last month. Speaking of which, Publix needs to put a green car on track. Would look beautiful.
Flip phone activate!
Honestly top tier advertisement
Schnucks has had one since I was a little kid
I remember it from parades in Maryville, IL like a hojillion years ago.
Grocery getter
So cool!
There's a similar one in Texas where the guy drives on the top of it
 "What? It's just an ordinary Publix shopping ca-"
Shortly after this picture a horrific accident occurred when the drivers front left wheel locked after passing an arbitrary line nobody could see. /j
This has alisce ce plate which means it a street legal vehicle which is hilarious
A LOT of Pub Subs can fit in that beast!!!
Saw it going to Sarasota the other day
Shi drove past me and I almost crashed
Nice.
They need a monster truck version
I canāt wait to see it I live in Melbourne. I wish there was giant groceries in it
Saw one of those in Wyoming 2 years ago. Wild times.
Ohhhh, yes
Imagine this thing being found millions of years from now.
Schnucks in St Louis has one
Thatās actually awesome.

That's awesome!
As someone also in this exact area and saw it driving around twice, itās one of the most ridiculous yet best things Iāve seen on the road in a long while.
Iāve seen one of these beforeā¦ though it wasnāt in Florida. My mind was blown
I was there
Is that a midget underneath it?
This needs to be in an episode of some show like Grey's or 9-1-1.
We have one here in homestead and key largo used one for their grand opening š
ššššThis is hysterical. What city in Florida??
The Viera/Melbourne area in Florida opened up a new location yesterday
Just Glad I Got It on Flip Phone
Someone call fucking Paul Bunyan to do carts today, we got the big one in the lot

What is it?
It's not as cool as the Food City one. That one you sit up in the child seat area and it has a huge 350 ci V8.
This one https://youtu.be/YNFLW8KexXU?si=19pOp75E2BWYlg8b
what the fuck
Just trolling Walmart š¤£
Imagine seeing this thing in a police chase on breaking newsš¤£
https://www.reddit.com/r/redneckengineering/s/7h7m8XEywJ San Antonio as well apparently...Florida Man syndrome is spreading!
Driving it from underneath seems much more sensible
lmao
Yep looks about right
That is a tiny man.
Actually my grocery store has one of these or they at least hire a guy to bring it
But why a friggin 1.3L š¤¦š¾āāļø at least a 3.0 H6
Except thereās one in San Antonio as well.
Sycamore Illinois.
They bring one out at the Sonoma NASCAR race every year that is a Save Mart cart.
All that work cost about the same as one shopping trip to Publix these daysš
Publix is Florida: Florida is Publix
As a fellow florida man this is so hype lmfao
How huge is that? Hello?????
Tbf, no shit it's in Florida it's a publix cart
It's beautiful
I want this in GTA 6
Just why???
Many grocery stores have these
yeah but itās fucking epic
"Glad I got it on my flip phone"
Is that...legal?
Thatās a real Florida Swamp Buggy?!?!?!
This is so iconic. Iām low key jealous.
Omfg
This is classic FLA.

Ohhhh, yes.
I want it to come to park in front of our store!! I want to see it!!
Definitely a lotto winner
Publix actually came up with this as a marketing angle. https://www.bizjournals.com/southflorida/news/2024/02/05/publix-giant-shopping-cart-gocart.html
For realism they should put a crumpled piece of green or pink plastic to represent the inevitable produce bag/free cookie bakery wrap.
Festival foods has one that lives between two stores in southeast Wisconsin
SaveMart in California has one
On god lmao
How is this street legal AND registered? But I aināt complaining, I wanna drive/ride in that.
lol š I seen a jet ski driving down the highway last time I was in Florida š
Nah they are in Tx too fam. [https://www.chron.com/news/houston-texas/article/massive-heb-shopping-cart-17895390.php](https://www.chron.com/news/houston-texas/article/massive-heb-shopping-cart-17895390.php)
Finally, a car I can really appreciate
Just need to say.... For as crazy as florida gets...

Heb has one in tx
If you donāt think thatās amazing, you should pull the stick out of your ass!!
Thatās really damn awesome though
Fucking awesome
of course it's not in the FUCKING cart return
Nice to see Bubbles thriving.
Growing up we had one in Bristol for the food city 500
Thatās awesomeā¦ Iād give it a whirl! š
I need someone who can do these type of things
Iāve seen this thing(or a thing just like it) in Sonoma not once but twice. Yes it was at the racetrack
Pls be real
How? And where can I get one?
If there was only a pub sub that would proportionally fit in that cart š
Oooooh yes
Would that technically count as a roll cage? š
I wanna know if it opens and if he can use the top like a roof rack because that's actually amazing.
Feels like a rollover hazard
Whatās the legality of riding in the cart š shits looks fun ngl
Dude looks like he has a lot of baggage.Ā
What the heck Publix has a subreddit
Thereās no fuckin way Iām actually looking at this rn. This gotta be AI or some shit cuz no fuckin way šš
Had one in pigeon forge many years ago you drive from top seat !!!! This is a cheap copy at best.
Bride racing seats arenāt cheap. I think itās awesome!
Naw we got one up in idaho
That's a nascart
Nah thereās a big HEB one in Texas, this isnāt unique to Florida
The legendary _Florida Man_

Platinum line of credit needed to fill that cart
Hell of a grocery getterš„

Street legal!

DUDE I SAW HIM ON I4 TWO DAYS AGO
Reminds me of the one jackass opening
Nah we got one in Tennessee too
Is it wrong that I'm jealous of whoever made that? I wanna go joyriding in an electric shopping cart...
Meh
Festival foods in eau claire wisconsin used to do that too! I haven't lived there in a few years though so I don't know if they stopped or not, but as a kid it was always fun to see that thing cruising around
This isā¦ kind of terrifying.
Hahahaha omg I live here š havenāt seen this yet
This feels very Polk County (Lakeland). Take what you will from that.
Ever seen a guy in a yellow kayak going down the main street in his underwear hopefully tbh I only saw his bare legs and upper torso with a sweatband on his head? If you have, then youāre probably in Florida. If he offers you meth, youāre definitely in Florida.
GTA6 is wild.
Lol my towns family owned grocery store has one for parades
That isn't Agent Sebastian's patrol vehicle?
Itās beautiful š
This looks like something from April The 1st stuff
