"Golf Carts of the Damned"

The Villages [near Orlando Florida] is the largest gated over-55 community in the world. It holds more than 100,000 residents in an area bigger than Manhattan. And everyone gets around via golf cart.

In 2009, the New York Post labeled it "ground zero for geriatrics who are seriously getting it on." The story reported that couples had been caught having quickies in the golf carts and noted there was a thriving black market for Viagra. A local police officer told the paper, "You see two 70-year-olds with canes fighting over a woman and you think, 'Oh, jeez.' "

My recollection from our stop-over in the Villages (of the living dead) was that the carts are supposed to be governed to run no faster than 25mph. As you can imagine there is an active market for souped up carts. I didn't get to experience the after cocktails ride through the curving streets of our "compound" but the golf cart beat the car back to the house. 

We'll be making a return visit in February for more research.
