Daughter made an altered wheelbase golf cart

[jackel440]

Well I have been working 12 hours alot lately and just got the cart back out and running a week ago.
So as I head to bed at 6pm so I can get up at 1 am.My son comes barging into the house grabbing his leg and says "Alexis hit the tree with the golf cart!"He was on back and got throwed off.scraped up his leg and got a bruise.Daughter drives it back to the house.She comes in and her tummy is red from hitting the steering wheel.
SO after making sure theyre ok ,and then another lecture on hauling butt down the drive.
I think they got thier eyes opened up a little bit.
Took a look at it last night and she managed to hit the tree with the left front tire and set it back about 4"
Ripped the bolt out of my upper mount on my lift kit.
Atleast they didnt hurt the body from what I could see.So I get to go pull the front end off and do a little repair work.

You can fix or replace a golf car......can't replace your kid's! Glad to hear there ok with just bumps and brusies. Hope they learned a valuable lesson. When I was about 14, I had my motorcylcle front end torn apart on the shop floor, my dad walked by, and just shook his head, "I don't even want to know what happened", but I could see in his look, he was glad I was ok. Then he walked away saying....."you break it you fix it, with your money and put MY tools back where you found them! Because of my father....I'm a mechanic (so to speak), I fix golf cars. Thanks dad for not takeing my motorcycle away

Yeah they will live to destroy another day!HAHA!
You know how it is.You can tell em till your blue in the face,but until they get hurt they think ole mom and dad are full of it.

Glad to hear they are ok....Valuable lessons sometimes cost a little bit. Someday though....They WILL laugh about it!!

Yeah thats my clone engine cart.
I just got it her out and running since this winter.I am going to go out and tear her down right now and see what it's going to take to get her going again.

looks like it just bent the lift kit part of it.

Just got back from helping my mom put a new tv in her house.So I got the cart jacked up ,and up on jack stands.Preliminary findings looks like I have one bolt hole ripped out and everything just shifted over.
Dragging my son out to turn wrenches on it with me right now.
