The benefits are quite obvious: thanks to the generosity (stupidity???) of Uncle Sam, the purchaser receives around $5,000 in tax credits. Despite the higher insurance and registration costs, this presents a positive cash flow over the life of the cart. Hence, even if you never went above 20 MPH or on a 35 MPH street, the economics are in favor of the street legals.
However, I agree with the sentiment of sharing Morse and Buena Vista with the street legals. I think it is dangerous and if we end up buying a street legal, I doubt that we will ever be on a 35 MPH street.
