Ever since we finally got a car at our Villages home, we need to literally find a reason to use it so we actually drive the thing every once and a while. A day trip to the beach or a short drive to the lighthouse seafood market on 466 are about the only time we ever use the car. I love our Villages car, a used BMW convertible that we bought through the classifieds on TOTV, but kind of wish we never got it, the garage had a lot more space with just the two golf carts.

And besides, our border collie, Sallie, absolutely loves golf cart riding. Who need Mustang Sally, when you have Golf Cart Sallie? All she wants to do is ride along Sallie, ride along Sallie Ride, Oh Ya!
So true. When I 1st came to TVs I left my nice Mercedes outside, with a cover, so there was enough room for my 3 golf carts ( One for the parents, mine and the Streetrod). I would uncover the car once a month and take it for a ride. It just got in the way. After 2 years the car never came back.
I find TVs a good place to walk, just not on the golf cart paths. Neighborhoods and executive courses are where I do my walking.
