Shimpy,

I tend to be one to probably over analyze until I am completely comfortable with my selection. (did the same thing for 4 months online before we built our home)

I like several things about the Par Car, but need to revisit to see if anything has changed since my first dealer visit last November. What I do like is the 8/6volt batteries for extended range, the 13" steelbelt radial tires for a smoother street ride, and the extra road height. See, by now I have let the emotion soften enough to let me see the things that I do not care for on the Par Car.

What I do not care for. The tiny headlights. The pop rivit roof, and the way it looks. Saw a Par Car at the square and don't know if it was age, the sun or just the roof itself but it looked like the roof was curling at the rivits.

So right now, I am between an EZ go, and the Tomberlin. The Tomberlin also is using the 8/6volt batteries for the extended range so that is a wash. The extra's I like that are standard, is the glass windshield and wiper (for me rainex is able to be used on it), the seatbelts, the 10" aluminum wheels, the speedometer and odometer, the hand parking brake, the matching roof, the locking glove boxes, and lastly, the removable trunk.

Regarding the EZ go, I have not looked closely enough yet, but it is second in the running.

Hope this helps.......actually writing it out, kind of seems to be making my decision easier.
