Forcing owners to find new and inventive ways to haul golf clubs...
Currently, I put my driver/woods in the front boot, lay my irons/putter on the rear floor, and put my bag on the back seats folded down. Love every minute of it.
I sense some boastful comments/pics from Targa and Cabrio owners coming shortly...

Who would of thought of using a magnesium case with thermal reactors. True learning experience when you are rebuilding a 2.7 engine. By the way also expensive to have it done right.

Many many years ago I was heading east out of Vail, CO and wound up literally following a blizzard. I think the temp was about -20ºF. It was very cold. The 2.7 engine I had just could not develop enough warmth in 5th gear so I had to drive it in 4th or even 3rd sometimes just to keep things reasonable inside.
The corollary to all this is the build up of snow and ice in the wheel wells. Use extreme caution if driving these cars in a straight line (i.e., freeway) for a long time in such cold conditions. In time, you will build up a significant amount of ice in there with JUST enough clearance for the wheels to move,--to rotate around the axle. Should you need to actually TURN the front wheels (i.e., maneuvering) then look out!
I have to say that I absolutely do not miss the lack of heat exchangers on today's cars!
