Just as a heads up.......BEFORE you get the the eventual 'ticket'...........You CAN NOT drive a GEM car on the designated cart paths.........NOT ALONG side the roads ....NOR on the dedicated Multimodal paths that are off road...... The MAXIMUM width allowed on PATHS is 48 inches.......Since a GEM car is 55 inches wide....it is NOT LEGAL to drive a GEM car on the PATHS anywhere.....(except ON the golf course paths while playing golf)........Maybe that could be one of the reasons it " Sure seems to turn a lot of heads". The DEALER should have pointed this out.
