I packed all my clothes, most tools, stereo, TV, skateboard, Dishes, 2 boxes full of schlock, and my jack/stand in my hatch to drive accross state and move. I couldn't believe how much stuff I fit in there.

I hauled a longblock in the back of mine, wedged it down in the spare tire well. Not to mention many trips to the u-pull it yards and coming home with a load like yours. Nice sticker on the rear side window btw.

Damn I miss my hatch.

I used to fit a lawn mower with the handle bar hindged down a weed wacker, my Redline bike, a 10 gallon gas drum in the back with my friend up front.

I once fit 9 people in my 92' Si.Me driving my wife and son up front and 6 people in the back one person sitting on top of another.My car was slammed.

BTW we didnt drive far so dont grip about my son sitting on my wifes lap.
