I bought this one on Craigslist. Began at $2,800 ask, but negotiated down to $2,000. It has a 2 cylinder, 18hp, american motor, which effects it’s value negatively. This one was built in 1984. The later cushmans and the Ez-Go Interceptors can frequently be found with stronger and faster Diahatsu/ Kia engines. They’re expensive to fix though, and only 1 mechanic that i know of at this point. I’ve only owned it for a few months so far. fun to drive, but the brakes are downright frightening.

Best way to get them is via craigslist, e-bay or public/ city auctions in sacramento or oakland.

I love talking about this thing, so feel free to shoot me an e-mail about it. Arnold@ArnoldHaan.com

Where does one buy these? craigslist? What’s the legality of driving/parking one of these in SF?

That’s my car, and lo and behold, that’s me standing next to it.

I bought it to use as a marketing tool for my new business as a real estate agent. (don’t throw eggs please)

I love this little car, and the history behind it.

Contact me anytime to discuss.

PS – the cross came with the car, and i’m fearful of removing it…

Pretty old, stale joke. This link should demonstrate just how stale that joke is. But, if you doubt it, consider that there are bars in such homophobic states as Texas and Georgia which openly use the name, and joke about it.

“(btw, someone definitely needs to open a bar in the Castro called the Cockpit)”

“What sort of forestry qualifies as ‘urban’”? That would be the part of forestry that recognizes the existence of trees prior to urban development and, therefore, understands that urban development can displace the trees that are essential to the continuing generation of the gasses that people breathe.

“I wonder what sort of forestry qualifies as “urban”?” That just means trees in the city. Street trees, trees in parks. They’re very helpful if you want information/help on planting trees in your neighborhood.

The City still has an Urban Forestry division, it’s part of B.S.E.S
