Default Snowboard, who needs an SUV or sedan!

Forget needing a SUV or sedan for snowboarding.
I can haul a snowboard and its cover in the passenger seat and fits perfectly resting against the rear wind deflector.

I thought I needed a sedan so was thinking of ditching the S later but forget it now. It can haul a couple golf bags in the summer as well. Frick, isn't there anything the S can't do

I wonder if I can haul a Dell home in the S. Hopefully I won't have to unpack the box... we'll find out in a week.

Good info to have. . . snowboard wasn't something I even gave thought to when buying the S as my only car.

What size snowboard can you fit in the car? I have a 152, so I'm hoping it won't be a problem. . . we'll see.

I have a 158, fits easy, make sure you use a bag or it will scratch the interior like a mofo.

I've scratched my hidden compartment like said mofo with my snowboard.

Idiot.

I just might have to take my S2K out of storage and do this. IMO it would be a perfect day w/ some powder and the car. Do you think my 163 will fit???

2 days ago, I came home with 6 foot long lumber inside mine (with hardtop on).

ps. I think a computer (monitor) may have to be un-boxed first.

I know you cant go X-Mas shopping with the S. We had to make 3 trips in our S for shopping and ended up with a scateboard still in the front seat (my hubby had to hold it between his legs almost up to his neck!!!).
