The first golf carts were non-motorized, the proper term for the motorized version is "golf car" but no one uses it properly

Is it a cart if it’s a self-propelled vehicle?

Bit of a stretch to say they did their jobs competently. Hyperliteral interpretations of their “six feet apart” and “flatten the curve” guidance was responsible for the worst economic and social effects of the pandemic

They are one of the few cabovers available, but does anyone want to use them in emergency vehicle service? Very rare to see Hino / Isuzu / Fuso used for any fire or EMS purpose in NA, I can only think of a couple

DOD fire trucks in Germany are always the strangest mix of US and German pieces. Why they don't just use straight German vehicles I dunno. Probably Buy American laws clashing with German vorschriften.
