"In fact, one of the things that ford proudly stated at the press
introduction was that the trunk could hold 8 golf bags. They even had 8
bags full of clubs to prove the claim. (they all fit)."

The Carpice is this one:

You do realise that you'll have to spend the next year having Belly
Busters at every greasy spoon to increase your size enough so that you
fit snugly in it instead of sliding around on the drivers seat?

Oddly enough Mrs F. said the same. Since she's a psychologist she was also
offering to provide the therapy, at a reasonable price of course. However
the therapy seems to be that I take her to an expensive shop and hand over

Has a certain something.

And I do like the riviera. Boat tail looks so wrong yet so right at the
same time. Like the back end of an overgrown Corvette meets the front
end of a Cadillac. Can't help think it needs airbags.
