Seems it's in Tampa. They will inspect and then eventually mail you a VIN sticker and title and then you can purchase plates so you can drive it on the street

Not true, there is an DMV office in Ocala.

We pay about $400/ yr.

Just wondering what benefits you enjoy, over and above the extra few mph, by the modification.....assuming you operate it on TV properties?

We operate our street legal cart in the villages and surrounding communities, and on any road that is 35 mph or less. We get about 50 mpg, it is easier to park, and also can be a good substitute for our regular vehicle, should that break down. As I said, each to their own.

Dont listen to anyone on this site who doesn't have a good history of driving a street legal golf cart. There opinions are absolutely worthless.

Understood

So when making dinner reservations, you may have to wait about 13 minutes for the others in your party to arrive! ;)

Let's make this easier: You need to include the post you are replying to so the person you are trying to insult knows to feel insulted.

Anyone notice that the OP bailed pages ago and the rest of the conversation has been meaningless to his question?
