A little know fact: Since the 1997 automobile model year, the emission systems are now actually cleaning the natural air of CO and NOx. Again, mother nature does not have emission systems cuz she is basically a bitch.

If you run it in your garage without opening the door, it will kill you. And a billion of us have been doing that for years. Where did we all think all those fumes and gases were going? Our little blue dot is a bubble, man, it ain’t ventilated.

Wow. Thinking about it as we headed to the square for a cold one, I’m glad my carts electric.

9 out of 10 house/garage fires are caused by electric carts or their chargers. Sleep well tonight. Check out the recent house fire on Laurevel drive.

Sarcasm much? It might have “been done” but was it done efficiently and effectively so that it made any impact? IMHO, no.

IMO either will work, but individual has to decide what best for them.
