Thanks to the Admin for initiating this sticky!
I consider this a real public service!
It appears the attorney who was consulted about this has given good, sound information and opinion.
This information did not include anything about insurance implications of renting your cart to someone else, or what coverage you might have if you rent a cart from another company or private party. I've made a number of what I believe are well-researched comments about these matters in previous threads and would welcome another sticky about those topics.
Thanks again chief!
