The conclusion of the Texas 5A Division 2 championship game saw the usual thrill of victory and agony of—OH MY GOD, RUN! THE MACHINES ARE SELF AWARE. More »

Mark Twain may have called golf, "a good walk spoiled," but he never had a Yamaha R1-powered sand-rail cart, so please forgive him. Now, you can have one too. Just remember to yell "fore!" before launching over the greens. More »

When Libyan leader Moammar Qaddafi stepped out on state television yesterday to announce it was raining, the strange vehicle he was in was a Tuk-Tuk, which is a type of enclosed, motorcycle or bike-powered rickshaw. His may be armored. More »

The $45,000 Indian-built and -designed Metaltech Anti-Terrorist Assault Cart is essentially an armored golf cart designed to withstand grenade attacks. Although seemingly the least threatening armored vehicle ever built, it makes perfect sense for Mumbai-like confined quarters anti-terrorism use. More »

Police in Morgan City, Utah were outrun and outwitted by a drunken man in what they describe as a souped-up golf cart. Trev Dawson was hanging out with friends, drinking and doing donuts on the lawn of the Morgan City Park when local Sheriff's deputies happened upon him. Rather than face a count of drunk driving or public destruction and risk having something happen to the beloved cart, Dawson fled the scene. Officers gave chase across yards, down streets and through parking lots before Dawson fled into an alfalfa field and jumped over a few irrigation ditches, which is something that police cruisers typically can't do. How was he caught? More »

We got a look at the Chrysler "Peapod" this morning, though at the time we didn't know it was actually the GEM Peapod. The "Global Electric Motorcars" all-electric range of "community vehicles" has been on sale for ten years now. The Peapod is the latest concept set up for a debut in GEM's 2009 lineup, which also gets an updated and greenwashed name - GreenEcoMobility (blech). If you're into the details of an electric, four-passenger, 25 MPH, 30-mile-range overgrown golf cart, there are plenty of 'em in the official press release below. More »

The only redeeming qualities the game of golf has for us is that it involves a bunch of friends out in the fresh air, a bag full of frosty beverages, and a golf cart to chase squirrels around the course with. Now imagine if that golf cart was powered by a four cylinder out of the devastatingly fast Yamaha R1 rocket bike putting down 125 HP at the wheels. Yeah, we couldn't suppress the sinister snicker either. The guys at Navarez Racing Products have put together such a squirrel-tormentation machine and dyno'ed it as well, pulling wheelies on the dyno just to make sure it could do them. Wonder if they need a caddy? [youtube via NextConceptCars] More »

What's an even cooler way to get around the pits than a Saleen Th!nk? How about a miniature Ford Bronco. We saw a few of these zipping around Milan Dragway last weekend, and we want one bad. We're not sure if these little things are at all capable off-road, but man, do they look sweet for cruisin' between your trailer and the staging lanes. More »

If you've brought a trailer full of Saleen wares to hawk during the Ford Racing weekend at Milan Dragway, you don't just walk around the pit area; you ride in style with a hotted-up Th!nk Neighbor. This bad boy is sporting dual exhausts to keep the electric motor breathing freely, a set of Minilite wheels to drop the unsprung weight, a Mustang steering wheel, bucket seats and an extra gauge pod, plus it's festooned with some rad Saleen decals. Bet this thing flies on the quarter mile. More »

Remember the electric Hummer H9T we found on Ebay? Well, during our review of the Mazdaspeed3, we came across another, this one just chillin' in a University of Wisconsin parking lot up in Madison. Okay, so this obviously isn't one of the General's official Baja-capable Hummers, but maybe something like this could actually benefit the brand. Well, at least as far as CAFE requirements are concerned. Though it'll probably just be easier for GM to sell off the brand. More »

Has there ever been much doubt the Hummer brand would continually march up the numerical ladder while downsizing its products? We started with the H1, moved on to the H2, and then the H3 and Hummer H3T. It seems inevitable there will be an H4, H5, H6 and...you get the picture. But we may have caught proof of the General's trickery early on with what we're speculating must be the Hummer H9T, based on relative size reduction between previous models. The cleverly designed mini-Hummer obviously takes advantage of the design heritage of the brand, but bucks at least two Hummer brand trends by making room for passengers and visibility a priority.

Bill Murray was up to his old "Caddyshack" hijinks again while spending some time in Sweden at a charity golf tournament. Murray was doing the usual ball-shaggin' thing — drinking and hootin' n' hollerin' and generally carrying on like any other golfer driving a golf cart. The only problem was that he was driving not on a golf course, but on a major road in downtown Stockholm. Swedish police, no relation to the meatballs of the same name claim the 56-year-old actor-comedian would only be charged if tests show his blood alcohol level exceeded the legal limit, which is quite low in Sweden. Better that than the other possible charge of rodenticide. [city.se via MSNBC] More »
