| Totally Unnecessary: Street Legal Garia LSV Golf Cart Posted: 17 Nov 2011 10:30 PM PST The above is right on the greenbacks, by the way. Because unless golf courses will start sprouting up in public spaces like parks, only then can a street legal cart be of some value. Then again, when the gas runs out maybe it is a good idea to start moving around in golf carts. Besides, who rides around in a golf cart thinking they’ve got it made? Probably that guy in the promo pic below, cruising through Times Square like an entitled Master of the Universe. He won’t be smiling once he runs into the #OWS crowd, who’ll probably mistake him for a one percenter and pelt him with harsh language.
