Wjen I did a LSP in July 2009 the cart that came with the CYV did have side curtains and I did have to use them a couple of times. Also the cart was a little slow and the GPS recorded about 18 mph. The one thing I did notice was that it was noisy. I talked with the people at TV Golf Carts and found out that the carts were taken from golf courses and put into the LSP fleet. He stated that they have a gear set that is suited for the golf courses and not the open cart path. Later in the year I was back and this time I used a Yamaha gas cart and it would do the legal speed with not problem and was a lot quieter. The proper gear set always helps.

But then again the cart was free as it was included in the LSP.
