I'm rollin a beater right now... 1991 Civic Hatch with a frankenstein exhaust (cause the old one fell off) and a few other crappy bolt-ons that were there when I bought the car.

$800, 171k. gets 35+mpg, so I'm happy.

2000 Toyota Echo. 89k miles, if I remember correctly. I squeeze out on the high side of 50 miles to the gallon when trying to hypermile it (drive like a normal human and get 40).

Big enough trunk for three, possibly four golf bags.

Being an urban dweller, I don't own a car, but do drive alot. Cars that I drive most often are the Mazda 3, Scion xB, Volkswagen Rabbit, Honda Civic, Toyota Matrix, BMW 328, Volvo S60, and Mini Cooper.

I'd have to say that after driving so many different cars, they're all the same to me, but the Cooper is the most fun. The BMW is surprisingly responsive considering it's weighed down by all those luxury features (love the lights on the door handles).

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

was asked what a scion xA looks like as a pos comment

this is what it looks like and so you can see why i am really quite annoyed that golf courses don't let me drive this around on the cart path when i play a round of golf

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

2007 Chevy Suburban 4x4 - mainly for skiing, but it also comfortably hauls kids, dogs and lots of golf clubs. 14 mpg is a little painful right now

2007 Toyota Camry - Just got this. huge trunk!

2005 Yamaha V-Star 1100 Silverado. Perfect in the summer. No worries about the clubs 'cause I store 'em at the club!

I've got an '04 VW Passat that is extremely fun to drive. I spent the first year finding pleasant little surprises when cars are well designed.

    • Ok, I'm trying to find a feel to hit a consistent ball flight (irons).  My current predicament.  1. I try to do the arms down stuff better, with the club feeling like it is way behind me more. It's just a cluster of results. Most of the time, I can't get any speed on the swing. If I get my arms down faster, I just throw them out.  2. I focus all my attention on turning better. Pushing off with my left leg and getting my right side through better. On the DTL view, this doesn't produce anywhere close where the hands and club should be. The result is usually ball first contact, lower ball flight, more centered contact.  At this point, I am going with option 2. Stop thinking about what the hands do. Just make a shorter backswing, keep it wide, turn through. Somehow, the club head finds the ball. My focus is so much on just making sure I turn, it's like, "Oh, that contact was better.... Oh, that bell flight looks playable." If not, I will just be practicing my entire summer.       
    • Nope, they spent too much money. They are in over 28 million on the football roster and related NIL compensation at this point. Boosters associated with any Texas college football team has HUGE sway. The AD is between a rock and a hard place. They put a lot of money into Sorsby, at the chance of winning a NC this year. If you move on, you basically wasted a lot.  This is why Ohio State wants 3 QB's they feel can start. That is why the backups the past 5 years at some point transfer. Texas Tech has no backup near the quality of Sorsby. If they move on, they are screwed for 2026. 
    • Maybe there's something I still don't understand about the situation. Wouldn't Texas Tech do itself a favor to move on from Sorsby at this point?      
    • Day 281 6-10 Full swing, fast, getting low point ahead of "towel".  Working on flow during this seems to help.
