You are correct about Ferrari/Lamborghini. My dad knew Enzo’s son Piero, more acquaintance than friend. The story was relayed to my dad as follows. Mr. Lamborghini bought a Ferrari. When he brought it in for service Enzo was there. Enzo asked how he liked the and car - Lamborghini said, considering what it cost I’m a bit surprised at all these problems, window would not close properly, radio didn’t work, heater didn’t work, etc etc. Enzo being a too proud Italian said, what do you know about cars, you’re just a hick farmer. Lamborghini is a VERY wealthy man at that time, the ‘John Deere’ of Italy. Lamborghini set out to show him what a “hick” can do, the Lamborghini car was born. I’m sure Enzo regretted not keeping his mouth shut and just fixed the guys car. |

I'm glad to hear the story I thought I read years ago is actually true. I heard a similar story about Maserati. One of his customers told Mr. Maserati that his car had poor brakes and was told, "Maserati's are made for going, not for stopping." |

I'm just surprised that someone who has lived here more than one day, has just been passed by a faster golf cart for the first time. I'd say at least 40% of all carts are sped up above 20mph.

Can you imagine Ma & Pa Kettle out in their golf cart ride doing 15/16 mph and no passing was allowed, you would have a long line of carts all riding each other A** in hopes that the Kettle's would pull over.

My cart only goes 20mph so if some one wants to pass me, that does not effect when I get to my destination. If the passing person stays behind me, that person gets the their destination later than they would have been. It may have effected that person to be late but had no effect on me. Let it go and enjoy life.

I am guessing you are from New York area, with your method of communicating your displeasure. In the South, we are more accepting of our disagreements.

Sounds to me like you have anger problem if someone passes you. You gave him the finger? Seriously? I also doubt that the guy who made a comment about NY have ever been there.

You must have just arrived in TV. If you were on a public street in the golf cart lane then 20 MPH is the law. People break that law hourly every day. The fine is around $450 total in Sumter and it is a felony. If you are on a MM path in TV then the police have no jurisdiction since it is private property except for public intox, battery, reckless behavior, etc..Get use to it since that is the way things are.
