is there a way to convert sketch up files to Revit files. I need a golf cart and I can only find a 3d golf cart in sketchup.

Sketchup and Revit combined are an awsome combination http://www.revitup.co.za/_mgxroot/page_10802.html I love bring Revit models back into Sketchup and using the really cool effects shown on the link above

One recomendation though, dont use sketchup as model for Revit. First off sketchup isnt a very accurate program where as Revit is a very accurate program with dimensions and sizes and all. Also sketchups way of doing arcs and other curves is segmented so when looking at a curved wall in revit from sketchup it has a ton of virticle lines. Instead use Sketchup as like an over lay, and then just create in-place families, walls, and such based off your sketchup model. Use sketchup for things like "Wall by face", and "Roof by face". I wouldnt recomend having Sketchup and Revit share the job of being the primary model for a project in revit.
