How long do you really want to be in a gas cart with all that ruckus...and if you still have good hearing and still have a sense of smell?

A lot of people value serenity. You really don't get that with laughable gas carts.
Tell me you've never ridden in a Yamaha QuieTech with out telling me you've never ridden in a Yamaha QuieTech...

Plus, who want's to drive around in one of those electric shoeboxes, with doors and windows, even if they DO have air-conditioning? I've seen ONE on the golf courses (the driver took forever to get in and out of that thing). And I've been a passenger in one owned by a good friend. I'm 6'1" and could barely squeeze into that sardine can. He sold his after having it sit in his garage for 3 years... (for a HUGE loss!)

Oh, and my Yamaha has BlueTooth speakers...
