We have one Car , 2 golf carts , and a scooter...........To be honest we probably don't need two golf carts and definitely don't need a scooter......so we may start parring down some of our rolling stock........
If you do feel you need two carts , you might consider one electric and one gas............The Villages are getting very large now and sometimes the gas cart will come in handy for its longer range..........

PS, we live on the north end of TV

Did you add another dedicated golf cart circuit/plug? If so, approx how much was it? We have a 2 seater electric and are either going to add a 4 seater (probably gas) or if we buy another 2 seater, might add the flip seat to one of them. Any thoughts on that?

We have 2 electric carts. We plug one into the dedicated circuit and plug the other into a standard 110 outlet in the garage. No problems so far.

We have one car and "had" two electric golf carts. We use the golf cart all the time and usually we are together so we traded in the two electric and purchased a new Yamaha gas cart. We took possession of the Yamaha on 3/31/09 and now have 3000 miles on the cart.

We are planning on one car (Mazda 3), 1 cart (Electric) and two scooters (Burgman 650 Exec, Honda Metro 50.) I expect this stable will evolve over time. What I wonder about most is the value of a convertible in TV??

We started with 2 cars and 2 carts.
After putting less than a 100 miles on one of the cars in over a year, we sold it, and kept one car (SUV).
We have a gas Club Car that is convertible to a 4 seater, and an electric Club Car. We mostly use the gas cart if going somewhere together.

My brother let me use his new Candy Apple Red Mustang convertible when we were in TV in October - turned a lot of heads and we really enjoyed using it.

Default Convertible

Well, My wife told me my truck was not coming, and her car and convertible were, and that she was expecting to have her own golf cart too,
so I guess we'll be two cars and two carts,
We had her convertible there in June and it was a blast to tool around in the early evening with the top down,

I guess it is what ever makes you happy! er, um, Her happy!

whoooo!
