[thechat] California's latest 'car' trend

[Luther, Ron]

Hi Madhu,


There is a dealership not far from my house that sells those things.  I've been
driving past looking at them for months wondering who the hell they were intending
 to sell them to.

In a retirement community outside Galveston, or in FLA, I can see that they might
make sense.  It's kind of a neat 'family' golf cart.

But on the north side of Houston?  {insert "WTF?" hand gensture here}

They wouldn't be more than a speed bump under my son-in-law's dualie ...
and Hell, they ain't even four-wheel drive!
So they don't do the ranchers any good.

(They _do_ look kinda neat - but I'm just not getting the point.)
