My Contribution....

My economic stimulus contribution.

A tie rod blew out on my Camo Golf Cart Friday and my second go fast golf cart just flat quit (while Mamma was driving it). So the boss lady said "Go get another golf cart and it needs to be at the lakehouse by Memorial weekend". And I said........ "Yes Ma'am"

This is what I bought today....gas engine:

Hmmm... Rip out the very rearmost seats and replace them with a mini-fridge and a grill and you'd be set...

A 13.5 HP engine, that's pretty damned cool.

When we have any of the kids/grandkids at the lake there I am the one that winds up of foot even with two golf carts. That is why we decided to get the BIG 'UN. The L 6 really isn't that much more than the regular 4 seater (L 4) and the turning radius is much better than I had imagined.

Fixing the electrical on the go fast (2-speed) golf cart and selling it. Will fix and keep the camo cart 'til the batteries get down to about 70% of peak, then sell it and pick up the L 4.

I have decided to get away from battery golf carts and the maintenance.
