Default How to fit a quarter-barrel keg in the Z coupe.

I have confirmed that you can fit a quarter-barrel keg in the back of the Z! Its a tight fit... Move the carpets and stiff thing that goes over the spare, and sit the keg right on top of the spare tire. And it won't even slide around, the tire holds it in really well. Put a towel or something on top so you don't scratch your Z if it moves around a little. Happy beer drinking! Get something good!

I am assuming you were going to a party? I am also assuming you were not alone? If you were, why not the front seat? Probably would have had quite a following!

I actually met a guy that had a keg mounted in the bed of his pick up truck with a hose that run into the cab. The nozzle was clipped onto the visor. He was able to unclip it from the visor & take a swig while he was driving.

Keep in mind, this was while I was camping out in the country.

There is no clearance at all so a tap would'nt fit. If you remove the spare, a normal tap probably still wouldn't fit. However, they make low-clearance CO2 systems for kegerators and that might fit. Still need to keep it cold -- maybe a liner in the spare tire area and fill it with ice. I had a CRV with that in the back.

I think the masses trick themselves into thinking beer tastes good.

Now if you all said drunk=good or buzz=good then I would belive you. :P

Oh man, I feel terrible for you. Go to your nearest bar/pub and order a nice cold pint of Guinness. Then you can refine your statement to something to the effect of: "I think the masses trick themselves into thinking other beers except Guiness tastes good."




And by the way, someone should make a sticker with instructions on how to fit a keg in the trunk of the Z so I can put it over that homo golf sticker. Like someone who buys a Z gives a rats tush about playing golf. lol

It's not fun having the keg fly around. Didn't happen in the Z but, we were broadsided by a drunk taxi driver while we were transporting a brand new, full keg of beer to a party in a minivan. There were no serious physical injuries but I think I'm emotionally scarred for life after watching a once perfectly good keg flying around in the back for 10 minutes dispersing all it's contents.

Beer doesn't taste good???? Wash your mouth out with soap young man.

I agree with Jetpilot about the Guiness. Another good choice is a black & tan with Guiness & Harp.

I may have to stop by the bar on my way home from work.

It was Newcastle. The cab driver ran a red light. When we got hit the keg slammed into the other side and cracked. It was shooting around the back like a water rocket. When the cops showed up, we were all covered in beer. They put us in the police car and took us to the station for a sobriety test even though we told them we weren't drinking and passed the field test. The cab driver who was taking people back from the bar, failed the field test.

Heheh golf sucks but I've got sticks and hitting ***** at the range is OK. More fun to put the hockey gear in the Z... I will try to make a sticker that's a great idea.

Bah. I have to admit even the thought of Guinness (or any other nasty, funky-aftertasting, dark beers) makes me cringe. Of course, I think every one of my friends would string me up me if they heard me say that, and my girlfriend would probably dump me.

But if we start talking Edelweiss Hefetrube or Lost Coast Great White... mmm...
