Tempus 6 year old after baseball practice in the rain... Need to go look up the thread on leather cleaners. *grin*.
Also thrown bikes in the back (always amazing how much room there is in there) but the boy always seems to win the messiest award.�

DEinspanjer Kids with sticky hands are still forbidden as well as open food containers. Now allowed are open drink containers for adults, and water thermoses for kids.
The soccer girl is sometimes a bit of a mess, but that is allowed (we got the rubber well mat from a kind TMC person).
Probably the scariest thing is putting a small bike in the trunk well and a larger kids bike standing up on the rear floor leaning against the seats. That is how we get to the park for riding. The kids are a *little* cramped but they don't complain about the short trip.

dflye Bicycles, 10' lumber, propane tank and portable tailgating grill, 16' folding ladder, wet/muddy dog, innumerable bags of dog poo after walking the dog, you know -- the usual stuff!
But I think the biggest mess so far was from taking son's friend home after stopping at Goodberry's to get ice cream for them... somewhere along the way one of them lost track of a huge scoop that melted behind them by the time we arrived. At least the leather seemed to hold up and it didn't sneak into any seams or seat belt mechanisms that I could tell.�

AudubonB Well, both Aurora and Borealis will be regular passengers in my S...when it arrives....
and if you'd like to know what they look like, you should google me / our location / our website....both of them, particularly Borealis, are pretty famous (a lot more than me!). When the AK state legislature named the Alaska Malamute as the Official State Dog a few years ago, Borealis was chosen as the Poster Child for the breed. But it's his sister Aurora who does 90% of the shedding!
I should probably throw a few pix of them up on the "dogs" thread that's floating around here somewhere. I've had malamutes for over 30 - maybe 35 - years now, and, while every one always is special, these two are beyond description in their demeanor, attitude, looks and full frontal goofiness.
Shop Vac, anyone? Maybe a 50000 cfm air compressor?�
May 19, 2013
yobigd20 hah - did the same thing today with grass seed and fertilizer. LOL.
see pic below, 2x6x10' fits just fine...
Putting them straight like that would worry me that they'd smash the center console if you brake hard enough. I catacorner'd some 2x6x10' a few weeks ago. Those wouldn't fit straight anyway, but if they were 8' I'd still not want them pointing directly at the console...

JohnQ No, I got the wordplay ... just that I believe that someone other than the owner must name a car. Just like I can't decide my own nickname, it has to be given. Unfortunately, "Ginger Duck" doesn't really work for me.
On a side note, I'm sure you've experienced the phenomenon where you look at or say a word too often and it starts to lose its meaning. That was happening to me with the word 'gingerly' when I reread this thread. Turns out there is a phrase (actually, several) to describe that: "semantic satiation." Just a random bit of information for a Friday.�

Gee-Man The first weekend I got my MS, I needed to haul a bunch of old paint cans to the local hazardous materials dump center, and my wife's SUV was already in use. So I loaded up years of old paint from our garage into the trunk (after putting down plastic liner, of course!), and was astounded to see how much could actually fit back there. I knew it was a lot of room, but it's something else to see it in action. I didn't even put the seats down and managed to fit three 5-gallon drums, plus 24 1-gallon cans, plus other associated smaller paint cans. And there was still room for a lot more.

JohnQ My 7 year old daughter usually rides with me. We like to head to the beach on the LI Sound but it's 30 miles each way. She's a bundle of energy on the way there (and it's mostly downhill). The ride back is brutal. She's not helping much and I'm lugging an extra 50 lbs or so up the hills. Nice to park halfway and have a shorter ride. I avoid driving the minivan at all costs but it has the rack. Might try slipping it into the S this weekend.�

purplewalt I folded the rear seats down, laid a large flat piece of sturdy cardboard on the trunk deck floor, folded my lawnmower's handles down, lifted it in and drove it to the service center to have it looked at/serviced.
