Quite a few folks in our area keep a golf cart in their driveway. Not because our development is on the edge of a golf course, but because golf carts are the preferred method of travel between home, marina, and crabbing pier.
Many of the carts of been "pimped out" with banners, party lights, etc. An evening encounter with a golf cart decorated with a string of multicolored party lights in the shape of little umbrella drinks definitely leaves a lasting impression.
As does a horse drawn buggy equipped with a radical stereo system.
We used to live in an area of Pennsylvania with a large Amish population. The Amish folk travel mostly by horse and buggy. The buggies share the road with hundreds of cars and trucks.
In an effort to reduce accidents on the roadways, the State required the buggies to be equipped with four way flashers. Of course warning flashers require batteries, and it wasn't long before the Amish teens discovered that automotive batteries powered stereo systems as well.
It seems that regardless of the mode of transportation, humanity has a deep seated need to customize their rides.
