(not really sure where else to put this).

Picked up a lifted toy yesterday. Been wanting something to get around the condo complex, and to get a cooler and supplies from my place to the marina (about 3/4 mile). Found this on eBay, guy had it built up to use at the racetracks (his son races 1/4 midget cars), only it didn't fit in his trailer once he got it done.

$4250, which seemed to me to be a good deal (the 2001 EZGO gas cart it's built on goes for about $2K).

It *barely* fit in the bed of my Supercrew, with the tailgate down.

Now that is pretty sharp!

I like those wheels. Looks like quite a bit of ground clearance and room for four passengers.

Fuck, that's cool as hell! I went for a ride on my buddy's golf cart on New Years Eve. He had a cart and a spare Honda 250R engine (not nearly stock) laying around, so he put two and two together, and whammo! We went up and down his street (almost wheelying) and had to turn around because my hat came off. (safety people note: it was a private road, no traffic)

Perhaps that outta be the next mod?

You need to organize the tools in the back of the garage. And don't run into the ladder.

The cart looks cool, hopefully you won't have some dipshit at the condo giving you grief over it. But, if you do, just run their sorry ass over:)

I was almost going to say that I didn't want any grief over the messy garage :) I've been wanting to build a shed and a 3rd car bay for a few years now, just haven't gotten around to it.

I shouldn't get any grief for having it, golf carts are kind of the standard method of transportation there. The only shitty part is that you need to buy a $25 "Utility vehicle" sticker.

Is it gas or electric?

Gas. Not sure of the HP.

Oh you big baby pony up that 25 bucks!

Looks good man, I spent 8 days with a golf cart as my only means of transportation. They come in handy.

2 5.25" speakers and a little storage bin. The speakers are connected to the marine radio/CD player in the dashboard.

The only thing I might do is replace the cheapie marine radio with one of the Panasonic or Pioneer headunits I have laying around, and maybe throw a Sirius antenna/tuner on it.
