I vaguely recall that Wendy recently posted an inquiry about golf carts, asking the TOTVers for input. She was leaning towards gas, husband towards electric.

I would bet that the "I won!" comment refers to her getting her way about the gas cart purchase. Most married guys knew the outcome of that "debate" before it started.

And you'd be right gmcneill!! I know all about gas/electric but I still feel more comfortable with gas as big as the Villages is becoming. We've rented both and I just prefer the gas! No excuses!

Thanks for all your input. We ordered it today and got a lot of the options you specified! Not knowing anything about golf carts I did not feel comfortable "shopping around" for used carts. We got one with the villa we bought and even though we at first thought it only needed new batteries, Ken Spano had to take it in and called back and said it needed another $1200 of work! When we told him we didn't want to put that kind of money in a used cart (for fear that it would be something else after that work was done), he bought the cart from us and we decided to get a new one (like I wanted). He got a good deal and we got rid of it so it was a win win situation for us both. I felt certain we could find a better deal but like the fact that The Villages wants us to stay happy so I figured they might be pretty good about helping us with any problems we might encounter with the cart. We sure like Larry that sold it to us!

I'm also not a golfer. When I had a golf cart with my first time rental in TV earlier this month, I thought the sand bottle was for water!

Don't feel bad. My daughter thought the same thing. She told me it was disgusting. I told her we were old and couldn't wait sometimes. Then I had to tell they were for sand. Got a good laugh out of it.

Just ordered 2 new 2011 cars. one a golf oriented 2 seater and a 4 seater. If you have just 1 cart go with 4 seats for when visitors arrive. We got the easybreezy in both, dash mounted fuel gauge, FREE custom dash, overhead shelf, fully golf rigged on the 2 seater, Curtis cab and Ultimte seats (custom bucket w/ fold up arm rests. Saved about $1500 w/ discounts on each.....

Villages Golf Carts Rock!

After reading through all the responses, I think I understand what the sand bottle is for. It's a combination water bottle, urinal, grass growing utensil that provides extra traction in the snow.

Just one more question. Is that grass or "grass mon"?
