Prior to buying a home down south we had made multiple visits to TV to visit my wife's parents and I have yet to be "stuck in traffic". I've never had any trouble getting around in my F-150. If I go shopping I want to be able to put my bags inside my vehicle where they have a chance of staying safe, and in the case of cold and/or frozen things, I'd like them to stay that way. If I'm travelling around and it's raining I'm not interested in getting soaked or riding around zipped-up in something that looks like a pup-tent with wheels. I just cannot find any possible use for a golf cart if you don't play golf except for one thing. It's easier to take one to the pool so you don't have to wrap your car seats in towels to keep them from getting wet.

Now my in-laws have one that's tricked out to look like a '32 Ford and they love it and have a great time in it. It makes them happy. That's cool. I just can't see it personally.

Now as far as being "stuck in traffic" come sit with me some afternoon on the Baltimore Beltway about 445pm and then we can talk about "stuck in traffic".
