Custom golf carts earn style points for electric vehicles
Flush with plenty of disposable retirement income, many Arizona residents are ordering big-buck, customized golf carts. More than 50 dealers in the Phoenix area offer tricked-out carts, and not all are just for the links. One estimate says 30 percent are used as alternative transportation. So why not equip them with GPS, DVD, A/C, child seats and custom fiberglass bodies? One of the leading customizers is Aztec Golf Cars. A check of their Web site reveals in eclectic mix of luxury, sporty and even off-road styles. An interesting trend is custom cart's popularity with new families, especially in master-planned communities. One benefit to registering and driving an electric cart is the federal tax break. On the downside, the Consumer Products Safety Commission says there are 10,000 golf-car accidents each year that require a visit to the emergency room.

They are in the lead of innovation here... Golf cart business is growing everywhere and a lot cheaper, easier, and more enviromentally friendly than starting your truck to head 500 feet down the road to your friends house... Sadly like the article Says... They definetly can dangerous... Still theres nothing like a tricked out golf cart..
