If you don't golf, why not get an off-lease Smart car EV for $10K and have it limited to 20 MPH for the MMP. It will fit in your golf cart garage :)

Don't golf? What kind of communist doctrine is that?

The number of times you would be stopped, honked at, etc would not be worth the cost, if it could even be done.

I think it is a little to big to park in golf cart spaces. I would just get the car and drive it as a car if you like. For $10,000 I would get a golf cart with hard doors, a fan and a heater if this would make the cart more suitable for you.

You could also restrict an old BUICK to a max of 20 MPH in theory. Imagine how much excitement would be created when you meet that thing in a tunnel. Put this in the "bad idea" file, please.
I say that based on my experience of meeting some misguided individual on a full-dress Harley in a tunnel. Don't know if he was on drugs, drunk, a recent-arrival snowbird, or just one of the "entitled" amongst us.

A smart car is actually smaller than a golf cart so will fit in a golf cart garage.

I don't think I want to know how you decided on "Crash".

Smart car fits in our golf cart garage with room to spare. Same width as golf car and a little shorter. Our friends store their smart in our golf cart garage in the winter.

For reference - Smart car is 60 inches wide without the mirrors and a Polaris GEM is 55 inches wide.
....Just in case someone might want to compare the Smart to an old Buick.

And a real golf cart, is about 45 " wide. Should we also have horses and motorcycles using the MMP because they can fit through the garage doorway?
Just hope a Buick never meets your "Smart" car head-on anywhere.
