I think 2 horses would be "safer transportation for a family of four".

"Costing just 100,000 rupees"

<Puts on nerd hat> Wasn't that what the coins were called in old school Zelda back on Game Boy?

You are probably right, only in India they would stack a family of 12 on 2 horses. I was in India for about 7 days last year. It is a very wild place, indeed. 65 MPH is as fast as you can go on the "highways". Most streets are jammed with cars going maybe 5-15 MPH and nobody obeys the street lane markings. The streets are littered with billboards that say "Lane driving is sane driving." encouraging staying in lanes. Most accidents happen at 5 MPH or less. I think that this car is safe enough given the speed at which it will go. What it needs is a very good clutch and transmission to survive the several thousand up/down shifts that it will see PER WEEK.

I think that we should wait for the A/C equipped model and then start up a business here outfitting them for the US as a very luxurious golf cart.

We would destroy the competition: http://www.carolinagolfcars.com/
Look at those high prices, especially the street legal model.

Need to think of a name, though. What about "Steel City Mad Whack 3-lug Street Legal Golf Carts"?

Lou can stock the spare parts. :goodidea:

Perfect car for a 3rd world country but that's a death trap here in the states. Same as the stupid Smart car.
