they should black out the other side too because it looks weird :P

I have Put a set of 17" Mustang Gt rims in once and a passenger and I have also Put a Complete old School Weight bench in the car including weights and a passenger I didnt thing the bar was gonna fit lol

In a 2006 4 door: 3 surfboards (longest 6'10'') and lots of luggage for a 3 hour drive to the airport for 10 days in costa rica. I couldnt see my wifes head the whole drive because of the surfboards extending from the back of the trunk up through the two front seats.

complete 2 ton engine hoist, engine tilter, chains, me(265lbs 6'2") and my friend 300lbs!
with the hatch closed and the bass a bumpin!!! :thumbsup:

40 Ft tall pine tree that came down in my back yard. Guy at the city dump in Yonkers goes "What do you have?". I say a pine tree. LOL Go to the organic dump and we both laughed. Hillarious! FYI our 07 GS models can catty 850 lbs max load. :beer:

the tree was 4 times the size of the car!!!!!!!!!!! how did that work

i picked up & hauled 44 brand new snowboards last week.

very carefully

thats pretty impossible if i say so my self.

My wife worked 5 months for a month long May art gallery show of her fantasy & real animal paintings. Thought it would take 2 trips in her Accent & my Dodge Caliber hatchbacks. We started loading, then rearranged. The paintings & paddings seemed custom tailored to the 2 hatchbacks & we found extra nooks for her prints, cards & copies of her art book. Loaded all her art in both cars & saved (& will save) 160 miles of travel in transporting to & from the gallery!

Please add good thoughts that a lot of her art sells! Thank you.

oohhh~~~I'm such an art fanatic. Please post something.

To those wanting to see a few of Janie's paintings, go to:

Hope these get you to her art.

I fit 8 ppl in my 4 door. I have also fit a mountin bike in the trunk. The front bumper in the car. A like 3 foot tall speaker box.

i drove ~200kms + a ferry trip each way to pick up a 19" 2006 gary fisher cobia 29er w/ rock shox tora mountain bike yesterday. all i had to do was lay one side of the back seat down & move the passenger seat forward and take the front wheel off the bike and i was able to stuff it in w/ the handlebars resting on the drivers seat arm rest & the fork, covered by a fleece jacket to prevent scratching as much as possible, on the passenger door arm rest. i know it's just a bicycle, but with 29" wheels and tires vs. standard 26's, it's a bigger beast to stuff in a 3 door accent w/o disassembling it. now maybe soon my 240lb arse will lighten up a bit in time for kiteboarding season... stay tuned for how many surf kites and boards get stuffed in my car this summer! :D

i've always gotten more sporting goods in and utility out of all my hatchback cars than almost anyone ever does out of a so called "sport utility vehicle" - and i get 32+mpg! 8)

My pool que and a case a beer.

To those interested in Janie's paintings that we totally loaded in her Accent & my Caliber, the websites I mentioned above are still good. She's working on a new website that will contain a wide spectrum of her art. I'll post it on this thread when she does accomplish it.

So far, she's sold 4 paintings, a dozen plus of prints, a dozen plus of her books, & scores of cards. The gallery display is spectacular.

Now that sound's like a good night! :clap:

I have to smile with this one. Bear in mind I have a 3dr hatch. On a recent trip to Disney World we packed for two adults and three kids. So the car had in it: Two adults in the front, three kids in the back each with their on carry on full of games and toys. In the hatch was 2 large suitcases, 3 medium suitcases, a camera bag, and 3 backpacks. It took about 30 minutes to 'place' it all in there and needless to say the rear deck piece was taken out and you couldn't see out the back window. But with all this it still drove good. I wouldn't recommend jumping anything tho.
