What was the "Fluffiest" piece of equipment your department ever purchased?
A department where I worked bought a Golf Cart, and outfitted it with Rapid Response Gear in order to provide EMS service to down-town residents during Friday Night Markets. We had a full complement of ALS gear, and some basic suppression gear. We also ran a bike program to support it's operation. (Sorry...I can't find any pictures at the moment)
The cart had fancy lettering, radios, lights and siren!

That doesn't sound "fluffy" at all. It sounds like you had a requirement (large areas where it would be difficult or slow to move a vehicle) and your station found an innovative solution. At University of Maryland, my station ran a bicycle mounted medic unit at stadium events for the same reason.
You'll love this: In down town Sydney, the run paramedic motorcycles! I don't mean some little moped - I'm talking the same BMW that the coppers ride. They can go anywhere regardless of traffic.

Seatbelts?
A friend of mine fell out of a golf cart on a corner - without the seatbelt on - onto pavement - and got a significant head injury from smacking the pavement with his head - equal to falling out of a moving car is how doctor treated it.

We operate on your petty cash fund.....LOL on second thought it is probably less than that........
