It took me almost 10 minutes just to unpack the shopping cart and pack everything where it would fit

Edit* yes, call me an alcoholic, but this particular trip was for a week at the beach with 15+ family members. I don't keep this much liquor stocked on a regular basis...

I don't mind being called an alcoholic, as long as next time you'd call me.... you can virtually call me anything.... flush-hole.. drunken-raccoons, alcocheng.....

this grocery (utility) talk about the Z reminds me of the other thread me talking about my honda-fit which left a sour taste in my mouth.

the issue is this... the Z is not a grocery getter or sofa carrier (well, it can be, but not really). cant even carry its own shoes. so some of us get a 2nd car to do groceries and carry cargo in. it's TOTALLY on-topic with the Z...cause no utility, no kids carrying-ability, then no Z for dads with small kids. that was my argument.

.... ok you guys aren't helping.

It all depends on how much utility you need. If I ever needed to carry something big I'd just borrow my dad's car.

Heck, I'm about to DD my S2000 which offers even less space than the Z but it will do just fine.

Obviously if I had kids this would change completely.

LMBmikeZ · 11-29-2012, 02:51 PM

You can have a Z with small kids you will just need another vehicle

m4a1mustang · 11-29-2012, 02:54 PM

Some people here are very hardcore when it comes to NEVER using their sports car for anything utilitarian.

Me, I love the idea of taking my Z on a ski trip, equipped with snow tires and a roof rack. I'm likely going to get a trunk rack for my S2000 for trips when the trunk space is not enough. All my cars see snow. All my cars serve as pickup trucks from time to time... that's how I roll and I love it.

I couldn't help but laugh at this one. When I shared it with my wife, her response was epic (see below).

Melody: I have a soul. I just had to steal it.
