I'm just glad another gasser is off the MMP. Good Riddance!

If you don't maintain anything it ends in fire. (sadly)

Reciprocating gonculator…it could have been fixed with a left handed crescent wrench and a package of dehydrated water. What a shame

Dollar per mile, golfcarts are junk, both gas or electric.

Their expensive to maintain and ride like lumber wagons, and steers like a truck.

Even bicycle has to periodic maintenance. But, that why there are bicycle shops for ones that don’t have clue.

Looks like a controlled burn for the insurance agencies to advertise.

yep, just need one of each part used to make a golf cart, and then hire someone to put the pieces in place, and bingo! Fixed!

This will be the same thing that’ll happen to electric car! Just watch your $100,000. car go up in flames.

And gas cars have resulted in deaths due to carbon monoxide when people fail to shut them off in the garage. Auto stop has made this far more likely.

Nothing is risk free.
