I live on a golf course and see guys playing golf every day. The overwhelming majority of them are overweight with some so obese that they appear to using a swing more suited to baseball. What a ridiculous waste of time and money. Spend 90 minutes exerting yourself at a gym and you will get more exercise than you do with a year of golf.

I rarely drove the Ferrari, golf courses are typically far outside the city and have nice windy roads that lead to them, one of the few opportunities to actually enjoy the car. Agreed, a little tacky but I could care less about the judgement.

I don't need to know if it fits two golf bags but I do need to know if it will fit two nitrous bottles

Because you're a dentist and you prefer not to have the nitrous delivered to your office, right? lol

You laugh, but when I bought my Mustang, I took my hockey bag to the dealer to ensure it fit in the trunk...

They should have designed the C-8 around a bag of golf clubs.

Sadly, many of the renders suggest exactly that.

I really hope GM did not make any concessions in design to ensure golf clubs fit.

I would like to know the percentage of Corvette that are primsary or only vehicle owned by the Corvette owner?

My sports cars have alway been just a toy to use and have never been my primary or only vehicle.

I think the majority of Corvettes are not the only vehicle that owner has and most are just toys and fair weather fun cars.

We are are all different. My Corvette is my primary car. I do not see the point of buying a somewhat expensive car and leaving it parked in a garage especially when it is more fun to drive than the backup car.

I would tend to agree, but that doesn't mean that space of some sort still isn't of concern. People get hung up on "golf clubs", but the reality is that they are a good usable space measurement for lots of stuff. I know if I can fit two bags of golf clubs, I can probably fit my hockey equipment, I know I can fit a couple suitcases for a longer trip, or everything I need for a weekend autocross or track event.

Even if they just are toys, if I can't use it on a daily basis when doing any sort of other activity I might be out doing that day, what is the point of owning it?
