    Believe me, those folks with the small cars had a plan. They just got carried away. Always amazed at what I can get into my Yaris with a little creative thinking.

      I got carried away with a 2004 Chevy Cavalier coupe at Ikea like 15 years ago. I bought a bedframe, nightstand, dresser, and a couple cheap wood chairs.

      And then I saw a small cheap couch and decided to grab it impulsively on my way to checkout like it was a pack of gum or something.

      I got everything except the couch to just barely barely fit, and I started looking at that huge box for the couch and thought “have I lost my mind” and had to go back in and return it right then and there

      I loaded a deck joist into my Scion tC when I realized one of mine was rotten (while replacing the boards). I put it through the sunroof into the “trunk” (it’s a hatchback) and drove home like a majestic blue unicorn. It was beautiful.

      Got home and my neighbor said, “You could’ve asked!” while gesturing to his pickup truck.

      I said, “I wanted to see if it would work!”

      I’ve carried various 6-10’ pipes and poles sticking out the passenger seat of my Miata. Infinite vertical space! lol

      We got the 12 ft skeleton into my wife’s Honda Fit. I mean, the box wouldn’t fit so the employees helped us load every single piece in, but we got it all in!
