Carts of Fury is a 2007 Canadian Tire Flash-based advergame that was once available online, and then even given out as physical CD-ROM copies about a year later. It is no longer available today (not currently on Flashpoint Archive) and was yet to be preserved until now.
Thanks to a contributor who wishes to remain anonymous, a physical copy was acquired and digitally preserved, and we have now uploaded everything here and to Archive.org. Details about the game are thanks to them:
It’s quite a neat little game, which includes five isometric race tracks inside various simulated Canadian Tire stores – a bit like Rock n Roll Racing on the SNES. Each race has three laps where you control a sprite based shopping cart and attempt to place in the top three spots so you can advance to the next track.
There are three carts to choose from, all with their own unique attributes: acceleration, top speed and control. Race down the aisles to a looping techno music soundtrack as you avoid other carts and obstacles such as oil, paint and water spills to prevent spinouts. Collect money and power-ups within each race for higher scores, speed and even brief tire invincibility.
The game should run on modern Windows via the following:
Use Windows 98 compatibility mode to install the game. Once the game is installed, it should run without any other adjustments. Tested on Windows 10.
Enjoy and thanks to our contributor who made this preservation possible!

Greetings Frank,
It appears that a Russell Challenger created some of the concept art for this game and has posted their work at these sites:
