Who sez? Well, it sure wasn't ME!

My only vehicle for the last 2 years has been a small car. To me, the VX's cargo capacity is massive... enormous... TITANIC!

I'm used to a trunk opening that will allow something that is either 43" x 9" or 23" x 15" to pass through. Love the car, but it's pretty much useless beyond transporting me, one passenger and lots of small stuff (as long as it can be "Tetris-ed" in through the trunk or passenger door.)

The VX is my big, practical vehicle!

hahaha yeah, I've jammed 4 35x12.50 tires on 15x10 rims into my wife's Camry before. Sometimes you have to make due, the cargo space in the VX is nice if you don't have rear seats in, when i have the kids back there, it sucks. I slap the stroller back there and then tetris everything around it and on the floor in front of the kids lol.

Yikes! While walking out of the grocery store tonight, I was reminded of this thread and "had" to take some pictures. Talk about "Tetris-ing"! This poor ol' MR2 was packed solid with stuff/trash(?) other than the driver's seat. I called the Import Car Police, but didn't stick around to see if they sent it to a "no-kill"/"yes-paint" shelter. :o

Poor baby. :(

By the way, I have a brother-in-law who owns an import repair business. Last time I visited his shop, he had a customer's MR2 parked next to an original right hand drive Mini Cooper. I still can't get over the fact that the MR2 seemed to be longer, wider and yet barely shorter than the Mini. I had no idea the "real" minis were THAT small!
AWESOME!

(My car-geek trivia for the day. :p)

haha yeah those mini's are TINY! I will have to try and find the picture of this car we saw at the hospital, it was packed more than that MR2, literally from floor to ceiling with JUNK except for the drivers seat, it was gross.

Well there's really no better thing to do with a trash can than to fill it with trash!

Just go on craigslist and snag a 1st gen Trooper. You will never be out of cargo space again.

LOL I have plenty of space in the VX, but remember the Suburban project I told ya about Bart? That'd be my "cargo" truck if I ever needed one lol
