I ride my bike everywhere I go. To work. To the beach. To the farmers’ market. To the kids’ school. And I’m sick of it! That’s right. You heard me. I’m f*@#$ing sick of it.  Just because I’m some tree-hugging, carbon-hating, crunchy conservationist, why should I also have to stay in shape? Burning all those calories from cycling goes against my goal of gaining 15 pounds for every year since I’ve moved to this wonderful country.

So what can I do? I want to be lazy and get around town without pedaling, but conventional autos burn gas, and electrics need all that coal.

Hmmmm….now that I think about it, this town is sunny year round.  Holy crap! I have an idea.  What if I could drive a solar-powered car.  On second thought, seeing as how I don’t have a valid driver’s license for the USA, what I really need is a solar powered golf cart.  Do they exist?  Holy crap, part 2!  They sure do!

With a price tag of $9000, I won’t take this decision lightly.  But just think about it, I could do things like, I dunno, take up golf, you know, since golf courses are such reasonable ways to utilize land resources. On second thought, I could drive it around to . . . hmmmm . . . ok, I don’t really know where I would drive it, but you have to admit that a solar powered golf cart is pretty damn cool.

How about it you buy one and tell me about it?
