I understand the draw of nice cars - but I'm really glad I never gave a hoot really.

They are expensive, they depreciate instantly and I'd rather spend the money elsewhere... like on IRA's, home improvements, extra mortgage payments, tickets to Hawaii, and of course, Golf.

If a car can reliably get me and my family from point A to point B, I'm satisfied.

What's in my bag:
Cleveland Hibore XLS Monster Driver
TourEdge Exotics 2,3,4 hybrid irons
Tommy Armour 845cs Silverbacks 5-PW
Assorted wedges, Ping Scottsdale Anser

1997 Dodge Ram 1500 (just bought my first house, and I need to carry stuff to work on it).
2004 Yamaha FZ6 (ok not a car, but it is my favorite vehicle , and the real reason I bought my Ram)
2005 Nissan Altima (gf's car mostly, I only take it on weekends when I don't want to spend money on gas, and she is at the stable or work).

REALLY want to buy something else, but until the gf finishes her degree and gets a Real Job (TM), the chance of that is pretty slim.

2002 Renault Clio 1.2...... My first car... driving test on may 12th :D

Good luck.

Mine are a Vauxhall Astra and Vauxhall Corsa. Fine for pootling about the countryside - the golf course is only 5 minutes away. What more does a man need? Once upon a time...Renault 21 Turbo (best car I ever had - 150mph, blew off Sierra Cosworths, ticked over at 70mph and gave over 40mpg. Amazing) Sierra Cosworth (exciting but everyone wanted to race you and the ride as so firm it shifted your teeth fillings. Got tired of it. Some little bugger stole it and burned it out). Peugeot 405 SRi or somesuch. Nice, but not enough headroom. Citroen XM - the last of the great eccentrics. Only car my mother in law wasn't sick in. Well, not very. Mini 1275GT - started with 1275cc and 55bhp - ended up with 1380cc and 125-130bhp. Cracking car - held its class lap record at Castle Combe racetrack for years. Recently drove a Porsche Carrera (yeuch), Ferrari 360 (I think it was), a Mitsubishi Evo VIII and a Lotus Elise, all on the same day! (Press launch of a new industrial system. They had to do something to get us there). The Evo was the only car I've ever driven that I thought was essentially too good for me, that I'd need quite a lot of practice before I could get anything like the best out of it. The Lotus was absolutely fan-bloody-tastic; cornered on rails, accelerated like being fired out of a gun. Didn't have the top speed of the Evo, Ferrari or Porsche and no room for golf clubs. But great, really fantastic fun.

I understand the draw of nice cars - but I'm really glad I never gave a hoot really.

But the really important question is can it get you from point B back to point A?

a scion xA, i've asked at a local golf course since my car is the same size as a golf cart if i could drive it around the course and they said no

They will beat their swords into golf clubs and their spears into putters. Nation will not take up sword against nation, nor will they train for war anymore. Old Tom Morris 2:4

    • Day 118: 4/23/24 Stack Full Speed spectrum training session 2/24. Finished 1 mph over last session but 4 mph slower than the preceding program.
    • Hitting some good shots on my golf trip. It's good I can tell when I hit better shots the way I want to swing the ball versus when I use an older swing. Shockingly, the short game has been at worst, not harmful to my game. I am using similar feels to the full swing, in that I try to get my hands down. I've been nipping the ball clean off the turf. 
    • I was laid off two months ago. Good severance, a 90 day layoff announcement regulation the company wanted to avoid so technically I'm still on the payroll for a few weeks, and a bunch of banked PTO, so I'm in a great spot and working on a startup idea I've been batting around with my brother for a while. That means I've got time to get to the gym! I'm at like 60-75 minutes 5x a week of strength training, and either a run or a bunch of time playing soccer or tennis with my daughter on the weekends. Stronger than I've been in forever. Up ~5 pounds of (noticeable!) muscle!
    • Do you have examples of exceptional scores versus their established handicap indexes?
    • Day 539, April 23, 2024 Mirror work once again. When I get back to swings, I'll just do it A. LOT.
