Who said two seaters aren't practical?! LOL
So today I ordered a Shop-Vac from Lowes, and when i went to pick it up, I found myself with a little situation. When I ordered I thought i was ordering a 4 gallon vacuum, but to my surprise it was actually 14! It was quite funny as i was laughing at myself while people walking by watched me pivot this box into place. Anybody have a similiar experience? post some pictures!!

I had the same situation when I tried to move all 4 of my PSS tires when I first got them, as well as all 4 of my new wheels when I got those, too. Managed to fit 2 in the passenger seat and 2 in the rear hatch with the hatch open a couple of inches. Needless to say, I drove very slow and smooth to my destination, haha. Wish I had snapped some pics now that I think about it.

I had to get the box in the passenger footwell and pass it through to the back hatch. Barely fit, but I had to say goodbye to no rearview mirror. |

Not with the Moupe, but I did have to transport a water softener via ZHP several years ago. The gf had to seat in the back while the water softener, sans packing, rode shotgun.

I used to use my S2000 to transport 8' lengths of PVC pipe, molding, 2x4s, 1x1s, 1x2s, and yard tools with long handles like brooms, shovels, etc. Haven't done it yet in my M but if the need arises...

HAHAHA! I ran into this situation just YESTERDAY. The splitter I bought and had shipped home...my folks finally got around to sending it out here to me. Well the only ride i have right now is my Coupe. Yeah...found out i wasn't transporting it in the coupe REAL QUICK. Moved the seat all the forward and tried stuffing it in from the hatch...everything...to no avail haha! luckily I had a coworker watching in the distance laughing her ass off in her Pathfinder. she ended hooking me up with a ride back to my house to drop it off.

I've transported a 1/2 barrel and a 1/4 barrel a few times in my Z4. The 1/2 rides upfront (seatbelted) and the 1/4 sits in the trunk. I always seem to get a comment or two during the drive home when people see the top down with a 1/2 barrel riding shotgun.

A few months ago my new floor jack and jack stands all came in the same box from amazon. Yep...people were laughing at me in the parking lot but I eventually got it in the passenger seat. Thank god I had some towels in the trunk to protect the seat.
I also have pretty much the same dilema every time I got to autocross. My significant other doesn't like to get up early enough to go with me so she arrives later in her ZHP. So everything has to fit in my car. Fortunately I don't do a wheel/tire change there.

What an ugly car in the background. And what is that camera thing in the top left of the picture?
Fitting tires and the usual is what has plagued all of us. That is why I bought a huge truck.

I bought a bucket to wash my car with when I bought my G37. It had instructions on how to fit 2 golf bags in the trunk but the bucket wouldn't fit. I actually think the Z4 has more "accessible" room.

The M Class in the background appears to be a camera rig. Must be shooting a commercial or something.
