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.

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.

well, one can't safely or lawfully carry 2 kids in the Z at the same time so it's not so much just the cargo/utility aspect.

and it's sad watching people sell their Z's just because they are having kids? that is just wrong if the guy/girl wanted to keep the car.

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.

with this too-we have an F-150 super crew for THAT...at least that is what Mr. BC called it when I was driving it....it morphed from grocery gitter to actual man truck when he started driving it...

LOL

Oh yea, I totally forgot. In addition to the groceries, I've had over $500 in liquor in the Z before, although I needed both the hatch and the passenger seat/floor. It was two cases of champagne, ten Ruinations (IPA beer in 24 oz bottles), Tito's (vodka), Tres Gen Anejo (tequila), a variety of bourbon, and a variety of mixing liqueurs

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...

JARblue · 11-29-2012, 04:16 PM

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.
