I can't register my cart ('99 Carryall) for street use in NY. Simply can't be done. I use it almost exclusively on the streets in my town, but my luck will run out soon, and I'm going to get ticketed. So I'm weighing my options...

1. Sell my cart, and buy a LSV (Tomberlin, Eve, etc). Probably lose $3,000 on the deal. (sell cart for $2,000, buy LSV for $5,000)

plus-easy
Minus-I like my current cart! I also like the Carryall LSV's, but those things are crazy expensive. I'm proud of the fact that the Club Cars are the best built carts made!

2. Drive down to FL in my truck, spend a week getting my cart inspected, titled, registered.

plus-I like FL, and I'm going to be unemployed over the winter anyways
minus-wasting a week, cost (maybe $2,000), and even when it's done, I'm not absolutely sure I can transfer the FL registration back to NY

3. Find someone in FL who wants to make $500, "sell" my cart to them, they get it registered, and then "sell" and ship it back to me. I pay them $500, plus all expenses.
Plus-easy
Minus-expensive, maybe $2,000 again....

Does anyone see any way that doesn't cost thousands of $$$?

Ugh.
