Hot Rods, Fire Trucks And More: Seven Crazy Golf Cart Mods

Those complaining about high gas prices and the lack of electric cars need look no further than the putting green, where electric golf carts are being converted to look like Hummers, hot rods and even fire trucks. Some carts are even capable of speeds in excess of 45 mph and will travel 25 miles on a single charge. Even Saleen has a Modded GEM Neighborhood Vehicle (NEV), which can legally drive on city streets. Which is where, if gas prices go up any higher, we'll be thinking about taking them. In case things come to that, we've put together seven of the most compelling converted carts below the jump. More »

Mini Ford Bronco Conquers All Pit Lane Terrain

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.

Saleen-Modified Th!nk Is The Only Way To Tour Pit Lane

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.

Electric Mini-Hummer Spotted In The Wild

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.

Possible Hummer H9T Mule For Sale On Ebay

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 Caught Drunk Driving In Sweden...In A Golf Cart

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]
