Practicality Test!
 

What is the most stuff you have ever packed into your RX8 and how'd you do it?? This can be anything from stuff to people or you just smile everytime you open the rear doors to put something in the back seat and not have to readjust your seat everytime :) What's the tallest person you've had in the back that wasn't lying when they said they were comfortable? Did you ever remove the rear seats to haul something? How was the feel of driving your car fully loaded? I love my RX8 because of everything i can wiggle inside of it (based on previous cars ive owned) and also because the car is Amazing! Ill share some stories soon because i think you get the idea :P pictures are encouraged! Lol just a fun way to keep stories going and more proof of how practical the RX8 really is :)


(If theres already a thread like this please let me know, i am using my phone and will remove it if similar because i am limited in searching, and sorry if any typos, will fix soon :P)

My record is me driving - obviously - and three Army soldiers as passengers (but trust me, carefully asked them not to scratch anything with their boots!!)

Four standard issue backpacks could fit perfectly fine in the truck. However, this was before I had a spare tire in there. So now they wouldn't fit at all.

The ride was just fine:)

I think I remember someone posting their big-screen TV purchase loaded in their RX-8.

The best I can come up with is my off-road segway (plus luggage, not visible):

3 fat chicks!!! :lol:

Nice! lol that looks awesome

LOL! hey.. no judgement here ;)

i have a 6'6" friend who doesn't mind sitting in the back and actually says it's pretty comfortable when my 5'10" friend sits in front of him :P lol

i try not to put anything in my 8 besides me and a passenger or two. i have a truck to haul stuff

Don't lower the car. Those fat chicks won't be able to get out.

I'll admit it.....no fat chicks allowed in my 8.

A Christmas tree.
A bike.

Also a camping trip with 3 people, bags, tent, tarp, beer/food, folding chairs. Bit uncomfortable for the 3rd mind you ;) It later fetched firewood. This summer it will probably get a canoe on top.

Sports car doesn't have to mean completely useless. Practicality PASS.

I had three full size luggages, two carry-on bags, and two adults.

It's too late for that for me...lol

I'm glad i have no fat chick friends...lol

i moved in and out of my dorm with my 8 (couldn't fit everything but i could fit a lot) the trunk had my photography things clothes cooler of beer and my sub. front had suitcase pillows bedding laptop screen home dvd case ottoman av receiver speakers a couple folding chairs and boxes of school related and hygiene related things and my brother was in the front seat.

If i had this thread in mind i would have taken pics of all the stuff ive packed into my 8 at the time. But ive been able to put a front and rear bumper inside without removing the seats and still able to drive comfortably, when i sold my front bumper and both front fenders i removed the rear seats, loaded both of the fenders from the trunk and the bumper from the passenger side (i had to drive 40 mins to meet the guy and lets just say there was a lot of noise lol) also it worked out i had to help my grandparents move that same weekend, i manuvered (spelling?) a 3 foot by 6 foot metal shelve (garage storage type) thru the open passenger doors and partially into the trunk, had to lay my passenger seat completely flat with a sheet over it, but from there i packed what i could into any open space, my trunklid needed to be pushed closed and i had to stack things with either i can look out my rear window or side window in mind, i chose the side window (passenger side) and honestly wish i had a picture of it because it was two days in a row. But, ive been packin thinvs into my 8 that i know normal 2 doors can handle sincd ive bought her, and i have to move within the next month and will definitly take pics next time lol

I drove my new (to me) RX8 home yesterday with a full set of snow tires packed inside. One in the trunk, one behind me, two behind my passenger. It's a good start for a car that I bought because it's practical AND fun.

A full set of Wheels is the most I ever fit in there. Oh and no more fat chicks, Had one fat chick move too much and the triangle on the seat popped out. I dont know how, twisting it too much I guess.

first day of moving out of my old place, gotta love it! :P
