[Insert “Now that Hummer is owned by China” joke here]
According to an ABC news story brought to our attention by our own Josh McCormick, there has been a huge spike in electric golf car sales in the last year.
The article says that the sales of the golf cars, which are “golf carts that can be driven on public roadways as well as golf courses” is due to the fact that since the golf cars are road legal (headlights etc) and electric, they qualify for a humongous tax credit.
Those who live on golf courses usually have their own carts, but one has to wonder how long this phenomenon will go on before the bylaws of a place like McNary Estates starts including a “No Hummer H2 Cart” clause.
Additionally, will the trend continue to expand to the non-golf course adjacent populous? How come the yuppies in Eugene haven’t picked this up?
“Still driving around in your gas-hogging Prius, I see? I’ll take my Hummer any day, thank you.”
Before long, Eugene will have a thick blanket of smug covering the sky.
