Actually they own that golf cart. My parents live in Peachtree City where they have 150 odd miles of golf cart paths throughout the city. Most people have them. And they don't even play golf. Ask dave or dana.

Actually they own that golf cart.

"rents" = noun, silent "pa"
"own" #1 = objective verb
"own" #2 = adjective

Cheers!

Some money, gift cards... and a ton of hassle. I got rear-ended on thursday night. My car is undrivable and since I drop my insurance I am without a rental. I have to wait for the insurince to establish fault and try to recoup damages from their policy. I didn't get cited at the scene, so I guess thats a good thing

I was thrown off too. I thought you meant they rent vs own. Also, I think you meant to say "whose" vs "who's".

You got rear-ended?? Ohhh no! That totally sucks. Does the other driver have insurance? And you can still rent a car without having insurance -- you can purchase the rental agency's insurance. Plus, you can also recoup those expenses from the other driver's insurance since he/she has disabled your vehicle.

No, I have gone from used car to used car, wrecking my first when I was 16 and then the ones I subsequently drive only lasting a year or two at the most before we get a new used one.
