Probably not on subject, but this is a small-town story. I have an EZgo electric cart with whatever the standard tires are. This April I had one tire go flat and tried to remove it and in doing so stripped the lug. I called a local cart guy who sells and works on used carts and he said he would pick it up at the local golf club. I met him at the cart shed where I keep my cart and he loaded it on his trailer and took it to his shop. The next day he called and said he had delivered it back to the club (about 2 miles from his shop) and put it back in the shed. I went to pay him and he charged me $35 for the tire, cutting off and replacing the lug, pick-up and delivery of the cart. I gave him 2 $20s and told him to keep the change, but still felt I had taken advantage of the guy. The tire looks new, but even if it is used the whole process was worth more than he charged IMO. Needless to say I have told everyone at the club how he treated me and recommended him for any trouble they have.
