Tomorrow is one of my most anticipated days in a long time; I turn in all of my military gear as I prepare to clear the Army for good. I have tons of pouches, body armor, helmets, ruck sacks, sleeping bags and you name it....in two different camo patterns. I filled up 5 trashbags and had a little extra (the rucks, plates, and body armor). My goal was to fit it in the Evora and not have to concede to trading cars with my wife (the other Camry in the stable). Mission success!

Nice! I got out a year ago and a couple days. Did you ever get a chance to rally the Lotus in some training areas? :)

You (and those like you) are why I think I can make it with a 2-seater. 99% of the time it should be fine, and that 1% can be helped with friends/renting/delivery. Way cool!

Nice! No, I just got it a few months ago. The only car I’ve taken through some backroad training areas was my classic mini back in GA. I’m at Bliss now and everything is straight and boring.

I’ve daily’ed an Elise, classic mini, Viper, Cayman, and the Evora. Very rarely do I need anything else.

Pro-tip: buying furniture or something big? Get an UBER XL for cheaper delivery back to the house.

I had a boxster only for most of my early 20s and if you put your mind to it, 99% of the time you are good. Just have to think ahead and get creative...

Perfect tip! I’ve only had coupes but they all have had back “seats” so I know like half the struggle lol

Practicality is like nukes. Getting within a few miles of the objective is all you need.

That would be cruel and unusual punishment.
