We had 3 when we were both working, sold one when my husband retired, and sold mine when I retired. It was more of an issue where we were before, but had the house for sale and knew we were coming here. We got a cart fast (!), and haven't regretted not having the other car yet! As some people have said, sometimes we BOTH wanted the cart, which is why my husband got the scooter that takes him to all the local rec centers and pools. I'll tell ya a story from just last week... we so infrequently use the car that (as we were afraid of) the battery went dead, and we had to charge it. It was in the back of our minds that this could happen (duh!), but somehow forgot all about it. We will be more careful in the future, and are purchasing a charger of our own to keep handy!
P.S. I had company once while my husband was away for a week with the car...most days we used the cart, but we rented a car for 3 days, too...cheap and easy!
