Having received my refund for Aliens, I needed to do something with the $$$. Don't need any more pins, certainly WON'T pre-order any NIB pins, so I took a turn. My old golf cart (2001 model) has seen better days so I went out & bought 2 new Club Car Onwards. Pewter for me and red for my wife. Just waiting for them to add the roof assembly and picking them up on Weds 7/12. And NO, I didn't pre-pay for them!
Quoted from TxJay:Blasphemy!! You bite your tongue!!
But honestly congrats on getting your refund.
Thanks-it was through CoinTaker so I wasn't very worried. I DO feel bad for them, though (CoinTaker) as they have to slog through all of this Heighway drama and deal with their mess that they've made for them. They're a top-notch business, so anyone dealing with them need not worry!
Nothing wrong with some bad ass golf carts. There was thread a while back where people were posting pics of their carts, you should check it out. Mine is a six seater, electric with top speed of 28MPH, led lighting, a fog machine. You can get pretty crazy with thes things and they are a lot of famlily fun.
Quoted from jeffspinballpalace:Wondering if you could haul a pin in one of those What's the top end speed?
~19 mph or so for the electrics. You can certainly tweak them to get you to about 25mph. I know that may sound slow, but when you're tooling around in them at top speed it's like a rocket!
Quoted from beelzeboob:Bad news, Norm: Just found out that Andrew Heighway manufactures those golf carts.
Damn my luck lately!!

A fog machine? Oh brother, now I want to see a pic.

Press a button and it turns into a hydrofoil 
Quoted from jorge5240:a fog machine.
That's a first, I've never heard of someone installing one of those on a cart.
Where I live it is largely rural, so instead of golf carts, it's mostly UTV's. Most weekends it sounds like an off-road rally going past my house.
Please forgive my ignorance, but what is the purpose of a fog machine on a golf cart? Or is this just a joke that I am not "getting"?
Quoted from DennisDodel:Please forgive my ignorance, but what is the purpose of a fog machine on a golf cart? Or is this just a joke that I am not "getting"?
What is point of RGB lighting? It is cool. The fog machine only works if there is no wind otherwise the fog blows away too quickly. My next step is to probably run the fog tubes out of horns. I think that will be pretty legit. Cart is at a vacation home so I will post some fog video next week.

Found some cars that did it back in the day.

Don't feel bad, I don't even understand the point of owning a golf cart.
Quoted from Ed209:Don't feel bad, I don't even understand the point of owning a golf cart.
I bet there are more people who own a golf cart than own a pinball machine.

Golf?
I've never seen anyone driving their golf cart to the golf course though...do you have to put in in a trailer, drive it there and then unload it?
Even weirder i saw some sort of razor/segway 1 person mobile golf machine whilst I was driving by a course the other day
EDIT: It may have been a "golf board?"

Must have been a golf board - MAN those things are pricey. You also need a Class D/operator's license. They are catching on with younger golfers (so says the board of the country club near my parents' house)
Quoted from Ed209:Don't feel bad, I don't even understand the point of owning a golf cart.
Some suburbs are very golf cart friendly & I have witnessed some sick rigs
LED's, strobes, mega stereo systems & I really do think I've seen one with a fog machine too now that you mention it. Mods mods mods in every hobby lol.
Variety is the spice of life. A new golf cart is far better than a fan layout game with half baked code as of late. Enjoy!

But is it better than a 2017 Golden Tee LIVE Showpiece game? 
I'd love a street legal golf cart. Anyone know of a trusted dealer in west Chicago suburbs? Is there a website that updates current towns that allow golf carts?
Quoted from TheLaw:I've never seen anyone driving their golf cart to the golf course though...do you have to put in in a trailer, drive it there and then unload it?
If the gold cart is street legal, you can drive to a nearby course. I wouldn't want to travel great distances in one.
Otherwise you need to haul it. When I had one, I made two ramps and used my pick up truck for transport. After a couple seasons I realized my only benefit, all I was doing is saving my golf partner money. I had to load, unload, and maintain it. And courses charge a fee if you bring your own, and not all courses let you use your own.
Easier to rent one at the course. And split the cost with your partner.
LTG : )

I don't think that's a bad thing.

I dunno but the 2018 Golden Tee is right around the corner

So just to show off? I honestly thought there was some real use for it. To spray for mosquitos maybe.

I guess you could call it showing off. I would call it freakin awesome!!
Quoted from DennisDodel:Please forgive my ignorance, but what is the purpose of a fog machine on a golf cart?
Try getting away in the cart after robbing a bank without a fog machine to provide cover and you'll see.

$6500 for a motorized scooter.
Quoted from DCFAN:$6500 for a motorized scooter.
The price for those is outrageous. I can buy three golf carts for that and rent them for more than I can get for that thing.
We live in a small community and I would say 75% of the families have golf carts. It is so cool to cruise around and be social. Anyone who calls buying a cool golf cart crazy should walk into their game room and look how much they have invested in pins. Everyone is different and has different interests.
A guy I know pimps out gems. Not for me but you still have to give him props.
Quoted from Rdoyle1978:They're $4200 in ohio
I was just going by the Golfboard website. I am curious if you get that brand for $4200 when their site says $6500. There are some other brands with similar but different products.
Quoted from Gryszzz:I need a golf cart to teach my daughter how to drive/country livin if anyone in Midwest has one for sale.
You should check the ads in yer local Recycler. I'm sure there are deals to be had.
Quoted from Ed209:Don't feel bad, I don't even understand the point of owning a golf cart.
If you're really old and live in Leisure World or some other assisted living community there MIGHT be a use for one.

I have nothing against golf carts. My brother has one and drives it around his neighborhood. I might need one someday to get around. I just don't get the fog machine part.
