How do you use back trunk space???

As a subject said, how do you guys use space of back trunk?
Whenever I start and stop and turn left and right, anything on the bakc is also moving forward, backward, right, and left.... I can not enjoy my ride!
So, I would like to see how other people are dealing with it or just empty????????

At least I want to put some grocery stuffs or something else ;-)

Thanks guys. ^_^

I use that cover from time to time. If not i try and make best use of the bins or maybe the passenger seat. I hate it when everything slides around though.

ohh and i removed those belts in the back.

I typically only use the back for luggage for road trips or for items that won't shift much due to their size. If I just buy a few groceries, I know they'll be spread out when I get home, so I put them on the passenger floorboard.

On road trips where I know there will be fun back roads, I pack very tightly in the hatch or avoid it all together. If I can't fill it completely, I'll "block" the light stuff in with the cooler or my fold up chairs.

Use the straps!

Or put everything in a box and then use the straps. You can the a big plastic trunk-locker-thingy from walmart for less than $20.

I added a strap to hold a toolbox to the right side.
All other loads go under the stock straps.
(This keeps the cheese dip from becomming "trunk dip")

in my 91 the nitrous bottle was mounted on the two bins so i couldn't open those without taking the bottle out and i have subs in the back so not much room for storage. i do know that you can fit 2 girls in your passenger seat and sometimes 3.

I used to just let stuff slide around. now that I have a vert, I have a trunk. rx7withNitrous, every time I see your avatar, it takes me a few minutes to realize your not 1987Rx7guy. Not to flame, but I would hate to have the same avatar as someone else.

I try not to keep anything back there except for my car cover. That I even strap down, in case it starts blowing around.
