Congratulations and best wishes for many happy trails riding in your beautiful golf car. I love the flag decal and your names on each side of the flag. Very nice. Enjoy!

[@thevillagesnatives3491]

Thanks so much and we really do enjoy it. We took a while to decide what we really wanted there and our U.S. Flag and what it represents seemed to encapsulate the message we wanted to share. Have a great weekend.

Also consider adding an Apple AirTag (to find your golf cart in the parking lot at the square after dining or listening to the band). Also have one on my car AND my eBike All those parking lots are huge and look alike 🙄 My wife & I walked through THREE parking lots one night after listening to the band. That did it for me … Ordered Apple AirTags on Amazon the next day

[@thevillagesnatives3491]

Excellent idea, thanks so much for sharing, and yes the parking lots can be a challenge. Not sure what it is about Brownwood Paddock Square but I can get turned around there in a heartbeat. The Air Tags are going in the shopping cart.

Thanks so much, so glad it was helpful.

Good Luck with the new Cart we ordered the same one. I agree with you don’t want to deal with range anxiety !

[@thevillagesnatives3491]

Thanks so much and good luck to you as well. That platform is hard to beat and it just goes and goes.

[@crabshack122]

Congratulations and lots of luck on your purchase. Looks great!

Thanks so much for your great work here! Just one thing to mention is that many people who own electric vehicles feel that range anxiety is not really a thing... unless they are travelling long distances. With a golf cart you can do one thing you can't (easily) do with a car... buy a bigger battery. However, I do agree with all your logic and think you made a good choice. Most important is doing your homework for your needs!

[@thevillagesnatives3491]

Thanks for your comment and very keen observation. I looked into one of the electric golf cars but the battery from the manufacturer did not offer an acceptable range for me. I do admit to being over cautious, so personality does impact these decisions. I think that if/when we need another golf car it will be electric. Thanks again and have a great 4th of July.

[@DisMindy5767]

Your golf car is alot like what I had in mind for us. We haven't had a chance to start shopping for them. My question is how long is your golf car front to the back bag holder? I'm not sure our garage has enough depth in the golf car space.

[@thevillagesnatives3491]

Thanks for your comment and great question. Our Golf Car is 112 inches (9 ft, 4 in.) long and our Golf Car Garage, which is one of the shortest in depth, is 158 inches (13 ft., 2 in.), so plenty of room for our car. I have not seen a model that would not accommodate our Golf Car, but that might be possible. What model home do you have? Hope these dimensions help, and let us know if you have any other questions. Have a great 4th of July.

[@michelleparry7332]

Just a curious question as a possible future resident. Does your cart have shoulder straps as part of the seat belts? If not, can those be upgraded on golf carts? I notice in some videos that certain golf carts lanes merge in with car traffic. I think I would feel safer with shoulder belts. Thanks.

[@thevillagesnatives3491]

Thanks and that is a great question. The Evolution D5 Ranger 4 seater does have the three point seatbelts, and actually I think Michael and Tiffany with The Villages Experience KZbin channel purchased one of those and a big reason was the shoulder seatbelts. They did a few videos on their purchase and seem very happy with it. In many areas here golf cars ride alongside traffic on main roads (30 mph or less) and within neighborhoods we ride with the traffic. Hope this helps!

Trivia Q: Is it golf cart or golf car??? Have to ask 'cuz I wanna talk like a Village native 😅😊!!! Your new ride is beautiful❤❤. (Hmmmm, I wonder if MWR will have a surplus sale 😅😅😅 It is probably the only one we can afford😅😅)

[@thevillagesnatives3491]

Thanks so much and our answer is: Golf Car, well according to our dealer and The Villages Golf Car Store. I see them as interchangeable but here they are treated much more like a personal transportation vehicle and golf usage seems to be secondary in my observation. When you get here get what you can afford when it is right for you. I see quite a bit of older golf cars and they get folks to the same places that the new ones do. MWR Surplus Sale, most definitely! Have a great 4th of July!

[@shilohwoods4516]

@thevillagesnatives3491 Happy 4th to the two of you as well. It will be our last "Salute to the Nation" ceremony=bitter sweet day. Enjoy the time with the family.

@@thevillagesnatives3491 Right on 👍.. A golf cart , is more geared for driving around the golf course, With equipment needed for a round of golf..ie, Bag holder on back , drink holder, sand bottle , ball holder, scorecard ,holder ..etc. A golf car.. more geared for driving on cart paths, neighborhood roads etc, and the equipment package is more safety friendly, upgraded lighting, seats, seatbelts, turn signals, etc…🛺

[@thevillagesnatives3491]

Thanks so much and enjoy your special day. Celebrating the 4th of July with the military community was always so meaningful for us as well.

[@thevillagesnatives3491]

Thanks so much and most definitely. Same platform but two different functions. Have a great 4th of July!

[@kevinbarrett3706]

Don't like electric.

[@thevillagesnatives3491]

Thanks for your comment, and I assume that you mean that you don't like electric. Just curious if that is based upon your analysis or have you had an electric golf car that you weren't pleased with? Have a great week.

[@thomasaccuntius9946]

I enjoy watching most of the videos people make about golf carts, But yours stinks, you stumble around trying to find your words. Also reconditioned is still a used cart. I bought a used Yamaha G2 and went thru it mechanically and added lights and all the safety equipment to make it street legal. PTV is a personall transport vehicle, and a seperate class that you can get from most manufacturers.

[@thevillagesnatives3491]

Then obviously our channel is not for you. Have a great 4th of July.
