Did my parents grocery shopping this week and my wife challenged me to use the Cobra for the pick up. Needless to say, we were the first Cobra to ever pick up groceries at our local Kroger. The people working the pick up area all stood by as we left and waved for the little display. Once the groceries were dropped off, we tacked on another 85 miles before heading home. Planning additional drives each day this weekend to let the Fitech continue to learn and get better. How many people plan to use the weekend to get some windshield time???

I had installed a drop trunk in my old MKII and one day I had to stop by Sams for the weekly list of stuff. I filled the whole trunk and had a big thing of TP in the PS floorboard. Some guy snapped a shot to show his wife that it can be used to get groceries. I was his hero that day. It's been a few years now, but that memory always makes me smile. Thanks

The wife and I took my coupe out for dinner, and my wife decided
she had to get bird feed before we went home.
She picked up a 30 lb bag of bird feed and 50 lb bag of dog food.
We got the strangest looks loading this in the back of my coupe.
After a couple pictures, we were on the way.
If you think the coupe had limited sight out the back, try using only the mirrors!
All the time.

Will a golf bag fit in the truck of a Mk4?

I'm not a golfer, but would have a hard time believing the clearance between the upper trunk ledge and body would allow for a bag. I have heard of others strapping the golf bag into the passenger seat. Imagine the looks THAT would get when you head to the country club.

My wife and I take it shopping all the time. I especially like taking it to Costco. Stops my wife from buying half the @#$%^&! store.

Yes. If you use your chop saw and cut the bag and clubs into three equal length pieces like I wanted to do after my last round, otherwise NO.

PS: I am contemplating getting a Miata trunk rack and a hard case to carry clubs.
