Maybe someone can clarify this logic for me, bc I just don't get it. If I was going to any big box retailer, even Target or Walmart, I would want my full size trunk and back seat. I would also like to get there in 7 minutes vs the 20+ it would take by golf cart if that was even an option (which it usually isn't if you live south of LSL).

Sure, I like a nice scenic drive once in while on a golf cart. And the dog loves it. But for running errands, using a golf cart is an inferior experience bordering on a chore.

You are missing or unaware of some facts concerning Golf Carts in the Villages. There are some cases where travel by golf cart is faster then Car. A trip to Brownwood from South of the Turnpike can easily be less time in cart vs. Car for example. You're also classifying all carts as not having storage capacity. There are large 'carry bags' that can mount in place of golf bags and there are also enclosed carts such as the Atomic that have a higher enclosed carry capacity equal to that of a small car.
