You know you can't drive it home, if you buy it outside the Villages since you know you can't drive on the major roads outside the community with a golf cart.

We got our first golf cart at the Villages Golf Car store, because we had JUST moved in and didn't know any better. We didn't know to even ask in advance. We just assumed everyone in the area got them from that store.

It was a used one, hadn't even been cleaned up yet, didn't have a price tag on it yet. But it worked, and it was under $6000 so we drove it home. It turned out to be a terrific little buggy. Our second one we got from a neighbor - and the neighbor bought it new at The Villages Golf Car store.

We weren't lazy. Just uninformed, and we didn't know what we didn't know, and didn't know that we should've asked, or even what questions to ask.

We have learned, however, that people who assume everyone who does something a certain way is lazy - is just judgmental and possibly ignorant or has a profound lack of self confidence that they have to make up for by putting other people down.
