Yep, that's a real radar detector (hardwired, with kill-switch, of course!), and yes, those are "real-car" driving lights - and yes, they both actually work :arrow:





I started off wanting to do a good job with the wiring, but it just got too messy..... ops: I wanted to retain as much wiring-run lead as possible on the driving lights, as I wanted to be able to retrofit this setup to her next cart. After nearly an hour of trying to tidy everything up in the hot sun of last summer, I gave up:



The cart is a 6V cart, designed for little kids <3 years old - those who are unable to reach a typical foot-pedal setup due to height. I took her to "size" for the larger 12V carts this spring, but she'll need until at least next summer before she'd be able to operate one of those, as she's on the small side (she's right on the 50% line for both height and weight, girls her age).

Because of its lack of power, I had to slave a 12V cart battery to the front (that's where the picture above is taken from - under the front of the cart) of her cart in order to power the driving lights as well as detector. It's a good thing that my old Bel has a built-in voltmeter, too, as that allows me to check on the battery's condition.

The Subaru crest on the front, which is an OEM take-off, hides the two big bolts that I used to secure a set of bumper fasteners, which in-turn keeps the 12V battery in-place.

Oh, and here's her stroller:





Yes, all Subaru tags (with the exception of the "STi" lettering) are authentic JDM pieces!!!

^ That's my guess.

I think that they would reprint and honor all requests, though. It's just good PR.

Also, then again, as you said, it's *only* been three weeks. Assuming that their Interns are being put to the job, this could take a while.....

^ Thanks! And to answer your question: when she can reach the pedals of the larger carts.

I took her back to Toys-R-Us to "size," but she was still way too short to reach the pedals.

I'm currently eying:

or

Their parent company expects replenishment of stock within the next 3 to 4 weeks.

They probably saw me driving my fuhrermobile and thought I'd have their post office burnt down if they messed with me
