I think she'd already backed into him once before the video began.
That’s my take, as well. Already appears to be some bumper damage.

Maybe he pulled up as she was leaving and she didn't look back. Women drivers.

Any board members happen to have a golf cart?

Trying to figure out how to value one, what's better (electric or gas), etc.

We bought a camper this year and could use a golf cart at most places, not to mention around the house. So I was thinking of starting to look for one now and maybe by next year I'll find one.

Nearly everyone in our neighborhood has one.

The majority of these seem to be electric, and they are expensive.

I know, I was expecting like $3-4k... The starting models are more than double that.

Yeah. I know of more than one person that spent over $10K on a small golf cart with a sound system, LEDs, custom paint/wrap, and so on. Just to ride around in circles in our neighborhood and take to Ocean Lakes for a week in July. :lol:

My wife's grandparents had a golf cart to get around their subdivision in Texas, and I saw a ton of them all over Myrtle Beach a few years ago.

I don't need it to be THAT tricked out.. But a small lift and slightly larger/more aggressive tires would be necessary for traveling around my homestead. Looks like the price between gas and electric is negligible. I'm sure the batteries are not cheap on the electric ones either.

One of the Cook With Joule moderators does Pimp My Ride style carts. This is his current whip:

Ha, that's crazy!

I actually ended up canceling my pre-order. I was likely looking at a 1+ year wait anyway, so I figure I'll wait until they get the initial bugs worked out.

Aren't they having problems with the hard top on these?

That's what I've heard. I was actually going to go with a soft top, simply for the ease of taking the roof off. My Wrangler is a hardtop and I've never had it fully topless because I don't have anyone who can help me lift the rear piece of the modular system.

A buddy of mine traded his 2020 Charger R/T for a 2021 Charger Scat Pack widebody. 500HP, sinister-sounding ride. His 2020 was worth more than he paid for it, with 15K miles on it and he was able to lower his payment on an upgraded model.

He also did it without clearing it with his wife, which is livin' on the edge my friends. :lol:

Either the economy is broken or he went with one of Dodge's 84-month loans. Those are not mutually exclusive statements. ;)

Interesting. I always wondered why they killed it off in the first place.

I doubt it’d be a hybrid, but that would be pretty cool to see. I still don’t see myself parting with my TL-S anytime soon.

Watch it end up being a low slung four door CUV. ;) Similar to the "Eclipse" and "Mustang."

The front on that reminds me of the Ford GT90.

Or the Acura hybrid that lasted like one year. It was atrocious.

But speaking of, I saw the electric Mustang in person today. It looks awful. My wife asked me if they always made a Mustang station wagon, lol.
