It makes it nice to go to get the mail or haul our old people up to the village square for concerts and such.




Are you in the Villages baw? Saw a special on that place on youtube yesterday. I have heard the stories but did not know that place was so big...





I want to know this too. The Villages seem nice, especially the swinging.

I hate these damn things. Bunch of 10 year olds drive one around our place constantly. Complete disregard for stop signs and cars. And it has a rack of speakers around the roof blasting.

But if I complain, I’m the jackass. Guess things will work out when some delivery truck runs them over.

I also don’t get this new style of parenting. 10 yr olds are supposed to be out riding bikes and playing ball, not cruising around in multi-thousand dollar golf carts.

The crazy thing is that it’s not even a large neighborhood or near stores. There is literally zero reason to have this thing other than showing off money to burn.

Cruising around is one thing, but driving crazy like this, I’d gladly be the a-hole and record them and call the cops on them.

I still don’t understand why a simple golf cart won’t work. These have to be lifted, accessories galore, and more times than not have Trump flags flying. Wake up…he gives zero shits about you.

We have them everywhere in Ocean Springs MS. They can be driven on roads where the speed limit is 35 or less.


Same in Galveston.

I almost hit one on Jefferson Highway yesterday. Dude, wife, and two kids were headed to City Pork in one. Utterly ridiculous

Have you considered reporting them to the pool board?

What I would really like to find is a 1950's 3 wheel golf cart to restore. That would be kind of cool.



Not going to lie. I would spend stupid money to have the first one. Get 5-6 gin and tonics and me and I buy the second one too.

It makes sense in neighborhoods with a pool, clubhouse, restaurants, etc. or if your trash/mailbox isn't at your house. I don't really get the purpose in a neighborhood like mine where we have none of that. Yet I see them all the time.

I watched 8 kids who live in River Ranch ride one down Ambassador on the sidewalk, then park at Target, almost hit 2 cars backing out, then took off down Settlers Trace on the road, flanked by 2 electric bikes. These things are out of control. I get the benefit of having one, makes things easier. But just like everything else in this world, if you give them an inch...they take 10,000 miles. If you see a rash of golf carts being destroyed or rendered useless on the news, holler at me so I can skip town.

I saw Arion fosters brother slam into a parked truck in a golf cart in the parking lot of the golf course. LOL. The owner was not very pleased.

Kids on golf carts are fine. Side by sides are not.
