One of my favorite things that we get to do here in Sun City West or most any golf community I guess, is to drive a golf car(t)s around. In fact before we moved here and I was fairly resistant to the idea, I told my husband I would only move here if we got a golf cart, mind you I don't golf (yet).
Growing up as I kid I used to love the little cars at Disneyland and you know that's kind of what riding a golf cart is like.....it is the Disneyland ride that never ends!!
These vehicles are great for doing quick errands, running to a friend's house, I don't do a whole lot of real estate in it, but I do run around in it to check flyer boxes and check on listings. I can even fit about $100 worth of groceries in it.
These little vehicles last for a very long time, have low maintenance costs, get tons of miles per gallon on the gas models, or right now you if you get a new 2009/2010 electric golf car and you can get a tax credit for up to $5335! Per dollar spent that's way better than the "Cash For Clunkers" or the "First Time Home Buyer's Credit"!!!!!!
You can drive these babies on the street anywhere the speed limit is 35 miles per hour or less, guess what.....there is no speed limit higher than 35 mph in Sun City West! I suppose that was not accident when Del Webb was planning the communities.
I still think there should be a golf car club here in Sun City West. Folks love their golf cars, some are fancy some are not, as time goes on I will share pictures here of some unique ones I've seen around town.

Here's one now:
This one, and a few others like it around town have a '57 chevy package, including the tuck 'n' roll upholstery! The colors I've seen turquoise and red, and the upholstery are said to be the actual Chevrolet colors of the real full size '57 chevy's.
There will be more pictures
