My on again off again interest in getting a new vehicle has surfaced once again and is taking on a mid-life crisis indentity.  The hybrid market has grown frustrating with the 'limited availability' stuff, and I'm starting to look at sport coupes.

The problem... where to put the golf clubs.  Anyone have good ideas on reasonable sports cars that have room for clubs in the trunk, or even back seat (the clubs ain't riding shotgun - no way) ??   Am I tilting at a windmill here?

Here's my mid-life crisis car.  Holds 2 sets of clubs and 2 duffle bags in the trunk with the top up.  One set with the top down.

^^^^Beaten to it.^^^^

It is my understanding that one of the fundamental design parameters of all new Corvette models is that there will always be room for two golf bags in the trunk. Of course "reasonable" is a relative term.

You'd be surprised just how ergonomic are the new class of superlight stand bags, both on and off the course.  They take up almost no room.

I wouldn't go shopping for a midlife crisis present without one.

Does age matter?

Not really, many people hit their mid-life crises much earlier or later than most. It's sort of a vague term.

LOL  ;D

Yeah, I'm still entertaining the vette option - but honestly, its a bit more than I want to spend.  I like my golf club membership, my ability to travel when I want, etc.  I think a vette may squeeze my travel budget.  But ya never know, I may catch the itch.

I'm getting an early start.  Some say I'm a fast learner, others refer to it as 'premature'.

why not go completely overboard?

I was thinking for about the same price (or even less than a new 'Vette) you could get a sweet sports car that's unique from a place like Hooked On Classics. (http://www.hookedonclassics.com/cars/category/muscle_car.html?PHPSESSID=94fe974bf001384212a9d0c87c04d3be)

I love mine.

You're supposed to store your clubs at your course.  Why worry about having to haul them?

I dunno.  That's dangerously close to center-gauge-cluster territory.

Dealer's in Eureka.

:'(

Seriously dude, I don't think I could drive one. (c.g.c.)

(the car in your pic is kick ass though)

You get used to it. Though I have no real need to look at the gauges. I'm more of a zen type driver.

I don't play ALL my golf there - gotta get em to and fro occasionally - and to the airport.

But I did see where people are able to fit a carry bag into this (when the top is up anyway):  ;D


oops - better scale that down...

If you are serious about this one, you gotta go turbo.  The conventional engine is slower than *feces*.

Undoubtedly - the Red Line all the way.


Of course I may dial back my 'toy' enthusiasm and get a more practical vehicle.

There is somebody out there that puts small-blocks into them. [sm_devil]

Oh, will you ever piss off.

Single, big bankroll, golfing, drinking, boycotting Setanta, slayin' *humid grotto*, etc. from dawn 'til dawn and you're having a midlife crisis?

Pfffffttttt....

somehow the thought of a hobbit is incommensurate with this...

Sounds like something a mantracist would say.

That's not a knoife...That's a knoife.
