Grocery gettin rx7

Yeah I spent 200$ on grocerys the other day and managed to fit it all in my single turbo rx7 :P

it was rediculous, i had to take out the rear cover and put it on the seat, then i filled up the passanger seat with bags of food after the tiny "trunk" wouldent hold any more, i even had a plant that i bought at the grocery store sitting in my window... my food was trying to kill me the whole ride home.


Then i went on a beer run in the 7. 2 30 packs dont fit if you have a passenger!

I need a second car

I can relate to that, random food items smacking you on the head and rolling god knows where all around your car.

I bought a desktop computer and 17" CRT monitor. It was a custom built computer so I had tons of boxes. I managed to fit it all in the car. I had to break down all of the boxes though.

Try moving all your cloth and work uniforms, service training records, books and entertainment items (I'm in the Navy). Then drive 10 hrs.

You think that's funny? My 2G has hauled: a dozen 18 hoot long 2x10s, a refrigerator, 12 massive framed photos in shipping crates for my recent exhbition, a 15 foot tall Christmas tree, my computer system in boxes (20 inch monitor to boot), and a load of dirt for the wife's garden. No I will not hauling that in my 3G because I am keeping the 2G as the family pickup truck!

I don't exactly remember, the AC Unit was pretty jammed in there so it wasn't really moving, the twine wasn't going to stop the unit from falling out, I just wanted to make sure the hatch wasn't going to be bouncing around. I tied it pretty loose because it was putting pressure on my rear bumper.

Yeah I was gonna grab the truck but it was at another house and I was w/ a friend and he kept saying 'nah nah it'll fit' - I tried to explain to him that the unit was almost the size of my entire car, but he wouldn't let it go, once we had checked out we had no choice.

Once I caught a flat in my Fd with a passenger.
The FD had audio equipment that basically
took up the whole rear compartment.

I had to basically tear out my whole audio stuff.
subs, amps, cd changer and squeeze the flat in the back.
while passenger had lapful of equipment.. IT was a
serious night mare.

I shoved a full nautilus weight set(full size w/ over 300lbs olympic weights) in the RX7. I had to take out the passenger seat to make it fit. Boxes had to be 8-9 feet long. When you own one of these cars; you become a spacial engineer.
