We have not lived here long, but we use the cart to go everywhere. SS is 3 miles away, LSL is 6 miles away and we go to the squares regularly. We use it to go grocery shopping, to the rec centers, to the movies, and my wife uses it to go to work.

When we first moved here we were having our car delivered from Panama so we went almost two months without having a car and the truth is we never missed it. Now that it's here we use it for day trips (Disney, Cedar Key, Crystal River, St. Augustine, etc.) and to pick up larger items from the nurseries or Lowes, but for the most part it stays in the driveway. With gas rapidly approaching $4 a gallon, I prefer taking the cart whenever possible.
