This thing is six feet wide. That presents a big problem for oncoming vehicles on the paths and tunnels.

Hopeful, you would never get hit by a car in that thing! I have a electric cart and love it.

I was thinking how much fun it would be to see that thing coming at me on the Morse Bridge by Sumter Landing, or the 441 bridge on my way to Orange Blossom.

He didn't realize it until he played golf one day and realized he had no place to put his card and pencil. He assumed it was an oversight but when he called the dealer he was informed that he had to pay extra for that piece.
BUT....it has a back-up camera.

It seems to me that in TV this would only work as a street-legal vehicle. I wonder if it comes with all of the accoutrements required for that designation.

My impression is that it's too big for the cart designated lanes, MMPs, , bridges etc, but I wouldn't want to drive it in traffic. I'm not sure why it impresses me as being more unsafe than a street-legal 2 seater, but it does. Maybe it's just the thought of taking children out in traffic in that thing that scares me.

Would work well at celebration, or a self contained family area. Just think watching kids soccer match while relaxing with snacks. But guessing nobody on this forum is driving to soccer practice anytime soon.

But the panic has begun, there is a post with a picture, and now the worry is it could show up in TV. But remember folks, more than one Car, has mistakenly traveled the cart path, traveled over a bridge, and through tunnels. This would be less scary than a car on a mmp if someone chose to buy

I wouldn't call it "panic". It's more of a sense that a few will eventually show up on the MMP's.

So true, so true. When this first started, it was not like this, but as the V's grew, diversified, etc. the "fault finding", increased and seems to have hit a peak during "Covid" (?) seems to me. But also "social media" in general just continues to be a growing avenue for pointing out the short comings of others, displaying one's own "superiority" in intellect, correcting the perceptions of others, and all manner of other "tearing down" comments and behaviors. It makes you wonder why people don't get more pleasure out of building UP others, or at least respecting others ? It's one thing to suggest another way of approaching a home maintenance task, or a better route to a destination, etc., that type of thing. But others just seem to get actual pleasure out of feeling "superior" ? I remember once, many years back, reading a request someone wrote concerning tipping and the need to be kind but also financially careful in retirement. Something many face with limited in come and no way to "get promoted" to raise income, LOL ! Fixed is fixed. But while there were many kind and understanding replies, one "superior" intellect did not hold back on telling the individual that if they could not afford at least a 20% tip, they should NOT celebrate their birthday out ! ! Now when you sit back and analyze a reply like that, it really reveals much more about the writer than at first glance. To be so sure of one's self, and position, as to suggest that another person has no business going out in they can not not afford a generous tip ???? It's amazing ....grab a cup of coffee one morning, and just scan all the boards/forums for comments that build UP others, give encouragement, hope, etc. there are some, yes, but just notice the number of comments that appear to have the purpose of making others feel "small", or naive, and sometimes "dumb". Puzzling ?
