okay, okay ..
I will be the first to admit when Scooterbug (sorry for the gender confusion) and the ever popular and widely admired Miss Kitty align against me -- I've gotta problem.
Look, I understand that some people do not follow the rules. I understand that some rental companies are not doing the right thing. I also know there are people driving traditional vehicles who are not doing following the rules and not doing the right thing. They are driving too fast and endangering lives much more than I am. If you are honest -- you will have to admit I am right on at least this point.
Let's not throw out the baby with the bath water. Let's address those who are not operating within the boundaries of the law -- and allow law abiding NEV driver's to live and let live. We have good and valid reasons for choosing this as a transportation option. It's good and fine to talk the talk about the environment --- some of us want to walk the walk.
It's new -- it's different -- it's change and I understand that some people cannot accept change easily. Not all change is bad -- and sometimes change is rough around the edges until people become better informed.
As for my "us vs. them" rant: I do not feel entitled --- I simply want to point out that you don't have to live here full time to have a deep and abiding appreciation for this area. We (the part-timers and the vacationers) also contribute to what goes on here -- and we shouldn't be automatically viewed as a group with malevolent intent.
I shall not dare to engage in additional debate --. for I know that it is fruitless to banter with the all-powerful and immensely influential Miss Kitty. A man needs to know his limitations and I know I simply am not up to the challenge of debating such an intellectually towering and popular figure.
I will however continue to operate my NEV in full-compliance with the laws and Florida and live content in the knowledge that I am making a small difference.

Oh, geez and FTLOC, bdubuddy! Miss Kitty is not all-powerful or all the whineybehinds would be gone by now. Just because I have an insane amount of posts, it does not make my opinion better or worse than any other. Let me also add, that if you took a poll, popular would not be the attribute I am known for...annoying, maybe. ;-)
So, know that we have that clear, I do have an opinion. You say your golfcartthing is the wave of the future and I would agree that is does help the earth in it's own way, but until there is a designated path for the gcthing, I am afraid for your safety on 30A. If you were jsut using it in your community or to cross 30A to get to a beach access, I would say, go for it! Be careful out there!

Plus, she has alots of style, n'est pas? Remember to back slowly out of the room.

Have you thought about walking?
Just kidding, bdub. Keep on moving over to let fasters pass-yer. I do that in my real-life car when I'm on my Sunday evening sightseein' slow crawl down to Seaslide.
:funn:..thanks, TA. ;-)
Being skeered of me is something I thought only Mr. Kitty experienced.
