If that statement is an attempt at humor, it was lost on me. If it was a statement of your actual opinion, I am astonished.

The Green Golf Cart will most likely need repair. Possibly a frame that supports the top along with front end damage. The driver may reside north of 466 along the Morse Blvd area. I suspect he's in hiding. The car is at a body shop with damage estimate pending. I'll post results once received.

Thanks to those for the tips. They're being investigated.

4:40 PM on Morse near San Marino close to the Mailbox Center, my wife was south bound in a gray Corvette black top convertible when a green golf cart made an abrupt left turn hitting the right front wheel and proceeded to slide down the passenger side of the car. Her first reaction was that the gentleman was injured. She pulled off the side of the road and the guy made a U turn and headed off in the other direction. He was wearing a straw hat with a black band. The golf cart was green. It has to have some serious front end damage. A witness tried to find him but without success. We have a witness statement but would like for anyone with information to contact me.

The green golf cart driver may have injuries. Although Corvettes are fiberglass, it still takes quite a bit of force to punch holes in the quarter panel, tear a mirror off, and shove the door back so it won't open. :rant-rave:

They have organized many fund raisers in support of breast cancers Relay for Life here in The Villages and I have never heard a single word about either of them that wasn't praise. They are real people and good people too who I am sure planned to take care of this very nice car for a long time.

I feel so bad about this happening.

On Morse Blvd., golf cart lane on the right - golf cart attempts a left as the car is passing by (both traveling south) - cart hits the RF fender - car going at a faster rate of speed.....cart scrapes entire right side of car.

At least that's the way I read it - - -

Thanks, I got it. That means the roads dangerous because we can't count on other drivers to do what we expect them to do. They're always doing the unexpected.
