Couldn't find an active thread. So I'll start a new one.

Tell me this doesn't get some looks going down the road:

Those are some great pics of her!

I've never had anything huge in my car. Though there were 5 people in it at one time...me and 4 college guys because my fiance's car was broke down Freshman year and I was the only one with a car!

The last 2 years of college, it was basically the only vehicle I used to get all of my stuff to and from the dorms too. NBs are great haulers considering how small they are!

Wish I had some pictures..

When my kids were smaller and they could all fit in the back seat.. 2 boys with their little sister in a car seat between 'em... we drove from just north of Philly to meet my parents in Lake George NY, to stay in their motor home for a few nights. Of course, the back was packed full with clothes and toys for 2 adults and 3 kids...well, toys for the kids, anyway..

My wife went shopping one day. Had to give one of the kids to my parents to take home for us because there was nowhere left to put everything she bought.

Because 98s rock like that! Actually Talula was born in 99, so she's a year younger than Ms Peaches.

A moose-sized Chocolate Lab named Ranger.
At least he's cute :3

OH, and one time for this anime convention, my Beetle was packed TO THE ROOF with stuff. My sister had her seat and no other room, and the rear of my car was sagging. I wish I took pictures T_T

Cool

I've crashed in the backseat once after this wild party for graduation,a 6'2",250 dude,in this little leather seat

I woke up with a shaved leg and explicit permanent marker images all over...And a curly mustache .

-boy what a morning that was,they had no idea where I went,they never expected me to sleep in the backseat of a bug!

There was that,and the occasional 5 or 6 bags of groceries.

I've got 1.5" on you but we're roughly the same weight and I've spent in the back of mine at shows before... kinda made a habit of it for a while. Will probably do it again at ToD...

Aww! I had an African Grey named Marnie... I miss her so much, and my cat does too... they were buddies! Surprising only because the bird taunted and teased the cat relentlessly!

I've hauled a 12' X 12' canopy, rolling cooler, MkII Jetta bumpers (front and rear) along with my clothes for the weekend, my school bag (a rolling backpack w/laptop), purse, groceries for the weekend, and my typical show stuff... 1 large prep box - bottle jack - 2 totes with trophies and plaques - 4 boxes of mirrors - custom wheel stand - show ready floor mats - 4 camping chairs - a few blankets - a duffel bag full of towels (rain was predicted) - and then some...

I'd say if you haven't had at least 3 parts of your car in the trunk, you haven't modded enough yet!! I have a ways to go.....I've had 4 wheels and a spoiler....and Starkiss (our other child)
