I would like to see this cart, too.

Your post reminds us that we all came here to enjoy...and I'm sure this cart was a treat for this individual to assemble. Okay, there might make be a bit of a problem with the width, but if it becomes bothersome to owner and others, hopefully the owner will recognize that and make adjustments. Maybe bring in the wings just a tad.... Now I have to be on the lookout for a very LOW flying airplane.

I disagree completely. The post was mainly about driving SAFETY, especially when passing another cart.

Thanks for the chuckle.

The distance between the car lane and the golf cart lane is scary enough as it is. I have seen many vehicle too afraid to drive past golf carts in normal traffic.

Yes, thank you, and thanks to villagegolfer too. You guys are taking a chance by agreeing with me. See you at all at Crispers on the 16th!

I agree that the guy and his cart-plane are a safety issue.I don't care how nice a guy he is or how creative his design is,safety comes first.Again I have an issue with posters who defend people here who are OBVIOUSLY in the wrong.It's a no brainer.

It seems to me that the problem here is not rather or not this gentleman was driving improperly or unsafely..that seems to be a given...I think the issue is the reaction many of us have in hearing (reading?) a fellow villager being referred to as an idiot and a fool. If the original post had been expressing the belief that an individual is driving around in a vehicle that seems unsafe to others and that maybe someone should address this, it would have been received better. I give you credit new peeps for defending this person. It is one thing to express an opinion on someones actions, it is totally different when the person himself is being attacked.

I think highly of your attitude Trish Crocker and hope soon to tell you in person. Tu est tres cher.
