I have a hoopty of a Yamaha gas golf cart, many here can attest to it's state. Ugly as sin but does the job.

Don't have to worry about anyone stealing mine that is for sure.

Then there is the custom duct tape seat upholstery O yeah forget about a radio or even a roof. We have had to put a battery in it and a headlight, got in trouble at a track for no light at night. So it has a single fog lite bolted on front "I am not ashamed to confess I am ignorant of what I do not know." "It's never wrong to do the right thing"

Why is it better to push then to pull. when you push there is not slop to worry about , you dont have to 2 people try to brake at the same time. its just an all out better situation. plus you can go forward or backward with great ease.. we went to a push bar and not looked back
