Daily driver is a Dodge Dakota SE I bought new in 1987.

When I need a car: 2000 Lincoln Continental.

Both cars are newer than my golf clubs. But hey, as long as all 3 get me where I want to go... y'know?

OTOH, guy on the next block is selling a PRISTINE '90 'Vette with 27K miles. So far the will power is holding up.

Actually, if you want to buy American, buy a Toyota these days - Ford, Chevy, and Dodge are made in Mexico, Buick in Canada, Toyota in Georgetown, Kentucky. I'm not sure if I'd mentioned it before or in another thread - but I'll go anyway. I replaced a '91 LeSabre with a 2000 Toyota Echo (imagine an old Yaris that didn't sell very well) about three months ago. It's a little five speed and gets unbelievable gas mileage (during a trip from here to Philadelphia, I averaged 43 miles to the gallon, and 47 on one fill-up.) And it's not even a hybrid.

2005.5 Audi A4. The dumb trunk in it is too small for my golf clubs to fit any direction but diagonally. Even then I have to finesse it so that the weight of the clubs isn't stressing the driver shaft. I love my car though.

I drive a car with the same engine as that.

and my daily driver a 93 Miata LE (stock picture) Looks like there are quite a few M3 guys here, I had a 97 M3 sedan a few years ago. Great car.

I won't even go into how many kinds of wrong this post is, all I can do is feel sorry for the American auto industry that brought most of it's hardship on itself


ML320. Have had it since I passed my drivers test. Great car. I don't think I'll ever be able to get rid of it. I guess you could say it has some sentimental value.

1995 Ford Thunderbird LX 4.6. It has 250,000 miles on it (210,000 are mine). I'll never find a better car for the money as long as I live. It just will not die!! Dead stock and still runs high 14 quarter miles. I get 25+ MPG because with an automatic V8 it never cruises at more than 2000 RPMS even on the interstate at 75 MPH. It's needed very few repairs.

    • 12/24/2024 So Christmas Eve we hosted the family. But I still found some time before and some time after to get some solid mirror work in. Yay!
    • Day 85 - 2024-12-24 Practiced for 90 minutes (which probably means I hit about 60 golf balls). No launch monitor, but plenty of aids and feedback.
    • So got fitted in a 35" Odyssey Microhinge Double wide 'blade' yesterday at GG. Choice was between it, SQ to SQ, LAB DF3, Rose Axis and Mizuno Craft  (also a double wide). Apparently I'm pretty good a aiming right of the hole consistently regardless of putter type. But it all came down to distance control and the insert feel. We hit puts in the putting area for the fitting but then ended up on the aisle carpet to hit long 40ish feet putts. Which is where the Microhinge did the best for my stroke. The Mizuno was a close second. The DF3 and Axis weren't bad either but I just felt really confident over the Microhinge and slightly soft but firm contact resonated so well. FWIW, I wanted to like the lie-angle balanced putters more than I did and was prepared to spend a bit. I guess putting is the individualistic aspect of our game. Hopefully, I didn't leave anything on the table. Anyone who knows my putting knows I need all the help I can get.
    • The driver swing honestly feels good. Haven't played in a/the course for a bit but did pretty good at the sim place yesterday.  The idea has been to reduce twisting shaft instinctively at impact. For this have weakened left hand grip considerably. Pushed higher up in the hollow of the palm to take out index finger and thumb in pressure application which is a major are major contributors of shaft twisting at impact. On the flip side, right hand grip is way down in the lower part of the middle fingers. Not using index or thumb much at all. It also is designed to prevent getting underneath the shaft too much at impact. More of a float-loady  'paint the ball' feel through the ball. Overall address and neutral grip keeps both lead and trail sides on respective sides of the shaft instead of over or underneath the shaft. It seems it allows/promotes moving the shaft/club unit in unison with wrist/elbow/shoulder joints similar to an elephant swinging it's trunk. It does not feel like I am guiding the club path or trying to control club face at all. Fairly organic. Playing TPC Sawgrass in about a month. Will see how it all holds up. I hear its a good test.. heh.
