Started a brush fire today !!!!!!!!
Went to the golf course today to find the parking absolutely jam packed....
So......
I figure I could get away by parking on the grass adjacent to the parking lot.....
Big mistake....
I get out my clubs and start walking to the clubhouse and I do the typical vette' owner turn around and gawk at your car thing....
Well holy $hit...
Smoke is coming out the side of the car !!!
I dropped my sticks and ran faster than Ben Johnson on Winstrol LOL...
Jumped in the car and moved it on to the pavement...
Now the fire wasnt big....but holy moly is scared the $hit out of me ...
No damage done

Just curious how many bags of clubs can you haul in your vette? Do you have a bag or box for your golf shoes?

ZO6 trunk= 2 bags of clubs. Walking or staff bags.
Coupe= 4 walking/carry bags, or 3 staff bags.
Callaway FT-i, great club....but as in all drivers today, it's what looks best to your eye and the shaft. Shaft= engine...... right engine, good numbers...wrong engine, POS no matter how good it looks
Hey, I'm the pro, it's my job to know these things.
