For bragging rights, I want to say that I was able to get some exceptionally large loads packed into my '94 Mazda Miata (sniff... Miss you, suzie coupe ) Most notable were a Papasan chair and a Christmas tree... should have seen the looks I got driving on the lot.

Quoth XCashier View PostWhen we bought furniture for our new apartment, we rented a U-Haul truck with a ramp and took it to all the stores we bought the furniture from. The employees were very happy with us.Last edited by fish3k1; 04-15-2008, 06:06 PM.ONI HEUIR NI FEDIR

Quoth XCashier View PostExactly. Better to have too much room than not enough. You can always brace or pad it somehow.The Rich keep getting richer because they keep doing what it was that made them rich. Ditto the Poor.

When I moved in 2006, I borrowed quite a few vehicles--my mother's Vue, my brother's Vue, the neighbor's truck, a box truck from Haddad's...no little cars here!

Quoth Apathy View PostSo they buy their giant 200 lb. wardrobe. Fine. We wait for them to pay, take it outside, and BAM. Geo. Or some other ridiculously small car."I don't have to be petty. The Universe does that for me."

Quoth fish3k1 View PostIt's true, you can fit some amazing things into small cars.
The other day, he fit a very large (brand new) basketball hoop (you know, the kind with the large, heavy bases that you fill with sand/water). It was a nicer hoop, better than the kind you get cheap at Wal-Mart. He got the thing to fit (by himself) in our little old VW Bug.This area is left blank for a reason.

I'm guily of bringing a car too small for a TV before. We thought we were being smart...we have a Buick Century, there's a lot of space in that car. We even measured it, then measured the TV we wanted.
We forgot it had a box.
That was an embarassing 20 minutes to spend waiting for the in-laws to bring their minivan so we could bring it home...It's little things that make the difference between 'enjoyable', 'tolerable', and 'gimme a spoon, I'm digging an escape tunnel'.

Quoth friendofjimmyk View PostThen, I still had to add my puddies. They were not happy furballs. One sat calmly on my lap and the other wedged himself under my driver seat and cried the entire way to my new place.
Oddly, Snow didn't cry at all when I brought her from the pet store. She meowed once in the store...but was quiet the rest of the 5-minute or so trip. She was just happy to be out of that damn cage!
One thing I *don't* want to move again is my model railroad. After cutting through rail joints, snipping wires, and taking the entire layout apart...and then moving it roughly 60 miles north, reassembly, and then trying to get the entire thing level...I really don't want to do it again!Aerodynamics are for people who can't build engines. --Enzo Ferrari
