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.


Wifey drives a 2000 Nissan Maxima.

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.

@Basherbaker69: Gas is not cheap. (Yes, I think the equivalent of 1 pound 70 per gallon is expensive...)

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

    • Day 12: 2/19/25 Weight shift drills followed by full swings.
    • Thanks Bill, Really appreciate the tips! I'm hoping between side saddle putting and working on the Jim Venetos swing I'll drop some shots off my typically mid-90's score.
    • Thinking about seeing if our local course will make divot repair part of the annual youth camp….and I love @dennyjones comment to stick ‘em to the carts.   Sadly a lot of the older guys are not stable enough to bend down and make a good repair - so they just let them be or just do the putter tamp.  We also have one member who shuffles his way on and off the green - soft spike marks everywhere….
    • The lie is not really adjustable.  The PGA states that it must have at least 10 deg angle (not sure on the exact #) all of these putters came with the minimum allowable angle from vertical.  This is why the corners are beveled off.  The sole of the club is not intended to sit flat on the ground. Having said all this, the only way to change the angle is to bend the silver piece that the shaft is glued in to. In use: 1. Hold the putter with your top hand and let it dangle 2. the beveled edge will be the closest part to the ground 3. place bottom hand much like holding a pencil 4.  Club should swing forward and back freely but not hit your foot.  If it does then you need to move you top hand outward. 5. Do not manipulate the club path. straight forward and back 6. I keep my top hand tight on the putter.  My bottom hand twists the putter counter clockwise against my top hand.  This keeps the face from opening up. Good luck.  I have been using mine for close to 10 years.  I average 1.7 putts/hole (yes I have statistics on every hole I play) Bill
    • Day 29 (19 Feb 25) - Winter storm in place (here it's cold icy rain), inside day today - started with mirror work and 8i - working on weight shift sequence using shortened swing (backswing to P3) and coming through to P8.  Focused on sensing the shift to the lead foot as I get toward P3 and then coming through smoothly.  Followed up those series of rehearsals with some easy lag putts working to equalize backswing length with downswing finish to 3' - 5' - 8' distances.
