Doors on Golf Car
When we were in TV for our lifestyle preview in July, I was impressed to see several golf cars with hard sides and sliding doors, but I never found anyone who knew anything about them. I recently did some net research, and found they are made by Curtis Cabs (well-known company, generally known for tractor cabs). If you are in TV in July, you'll know what I mean when I say it rains a bit that time of the year. While I was OK with the soft sides of the cart we had during our week's stay, it would have been much more comfortable to have a water tight enclosure during some of the downpours. Not much info on pricing in the net, but I did find one retailer advertising the product for $1,800, which would be the uninstalled price. They say installation is about a one-hour process, but that's probably unatainable, unless the technician (or you) have installed them before. After we buy our place in TV (should have been in 2012 - now looking like 2015+ - thanks Wall Street), our first purchase will be a Club Car electric with the Curtis hard sided enclosure. Maybe the electric golf car isn't as green as many people think, but you can't argue with the fact that an electric is quieter, doesn't have any exhaust and requires a lot less maintenance than a gas cart.
