It's called Rainbow Chameleon. It turns orange, yellow, green, teal, purple, and fuchsia depending on the direction of the sun. Hard to get it all on video.

Don't ask what it cost, you can't put a price on a woman's happiness.

Remember that Mr. Nauti.
Yep for Gordon's Rainbow Warriors. Pit crew.

Can yours be tagged Driller? Its handy in our neighborhood at the lake because it's a Corp lake and technically you can't have golf carts there, but everyone does. But if they ever get a new commander and they start enforcing the rule I'll be ready, because mine is a low speed vehicle and street legal and ready to be tagged.

There may be some sort of state and federal rebates out there if yours is considered an LSV? I haven't looked into it for a long time.

That thing looks awesome and gaudy in a good way! I'm digging it, and I bet it's easy to spot when parked around a bunch of other carts.

In Texas it is considered a slow speed vehicle. I don't believe that it can be licensed, but it is legal to drive on the roadway as long as the speed limit is not above 35 mph. In order to qualify, I would need to add seat belts, a safety triangle, and side mirrors. The side mirrors I plan on, but I'm split on the seat belts. The triangle I can mount temporarily if need be.

There's only a short stretch of road with that low a speed limit connected to my neighborhood, and it doesn't really go anywhere I wish to drive the cart.

In Texas even the main roads thru the town have 50 mph limits. (just saying)

And to Drillers point if the posted limit is 50 most folks will go 70! Might need some airbags too! 🤗

Yeah, mine has all the seatbelts and mirrors. I've never tagged it though and dont plan to unless it becomes necessary. I never understood the whole aspect of a low speed vehicle. I guess in a neighborhood it's fine but no freakin way would I ever get that thing out on a road. Mine will run 36 downhill, but otherwise 23/25 with just me on flat ground, which is plenty fast for a golf cart, but no way would I ever take it out on an open road.
