Thanks JD! Frank at Sta-rite will be able to reprogram Tomberlin carts. Cost ~$100.00. Law takes affect 1 Jul. 2013. Plan on having mine done next time I'm @ TV.

....although the Gem car can go on the multimodal paths, is the structure and materials for the multimodal path sufficient to hold up to these if there are many that use them?

Looks to me like they want their cake and to eat it too. First they get a tax break for buying it. Then they decide they don't want to pay the associated fees. Now they convert it back and get to keep the tax break. Only in America!

I thought the bill said the LSV had to be converted to a golf cart? I guess we will have to wait and see the exact wording.

Tax break was available to anyone wanting to buy a LSV. If I remember correctly, the tax credit (2010 I think) was around $5,000---a little more or less depending on the cart you purchased. The various dealers charged an average of $2,500-$3,000 MORE for the cart and made out "big time" as about the only difference I saw was safety belts. The one I looked at had the same motor but was geared slightly different to get it up to 25mph. In order to get insurance---about $1000---$1200 per year---another "rip off" IMHO. Bottom line---the "deal" was pretty much another government boondoggle. However, for those that wanted or needed an LSV when the tax break was offered it was a good time to buy one. Remember, not everybody lives in TV, although sometimes it may seem that way!

Are the people who purchased the LSV and recieved a $5,000 tax credit going to have to return the tax credit? It was not a deduction it was a credit. Doesn' seem quite fair.
