When I got my '8, I was told by certain members of my family that sports cars - including the 8 - are too impractical for everyday use unless you never transport anything anywhere.

And with Christmas just around the corner, I've been needing to transport presents, TVs, and other random crap to allsorts of places. Then, the big one - today, I went to pick up my 6ft high Christmas tree from the... well, Christmas tree shop, I suppose. And you know what, they were right. The car is way too cramped to transport a big tree from... oh, wait...



Suicide doors rock.

 

haha - nice.

 

OOOO...the pine needles will be everywhere now!!!

but cool discoverey

 

I got 3 people, two 17" crt computer monitors, 2 full size PC's, racing jack, plastic bin full of tools, 2 jack stands, a laptop and case2 small suitcases, a Koyo radiator and 5 Gal of RP oil in mine once...

Could hardly move....but it fit....

 

I was about to flame you with a "that's what you get for getting a sports car" post, but u got me

 

DUDE WHAT DID THEY DO TO YOUR CAR THE WHEEL IS ON THE WRONG SIDE? I Hope you got that at a discount!




j/k

 

Do you think an 8 foot tree would fit??

 

lol, nicely done. But dude, your steering wheel is on the wrong sid.e

 

Nah, he had to take the wheel out to get the tree in.

 

And that's a"Holiday Tree". "Merry Christmas"

 

Obviously the tree is driving. Duh!

Probably. Especially if the top is a bit bendy.

 

Noice, noice.

I head off to Costco and manage to get a full basket of stuff in my trunk. People are always amazed.

 

what about a 20 foot walnut tree?

 

thats bigger than damn car ;D i got a shoping cart and a half from costco into my car, weirdest feeling ever as it felt someone was tuggin the rear end ( NO MY EBRAKE WAS NOT UP AT ALL :D) but it fit wow ;D

 

If you don't mind cutting it into 5 foot lengths...sure.

 

use the passthrough

 

Err.... what's wrong with the wheel being on the right side?

 

Nice. I'm showing that photo to the next person who asks me how I get by with such a small car.

Last year, I bought a reasonably sized computer desk that came in a 2' x 5' x 8" box. A sales person had to bring it out on a flat-bed-cart... when I drove up in my RX8, his response was "Uhhh... there's no way it's fitting in that little car."

Bah! Getting it in the front seat (like your tree) was almost disappointingly easy. The best part is that my son was with me! I wouldn't have been able to fit both him and the box inside my old WRX wagon.

 

Pine pitch can be VERY difficult to get off leather, carpet, etc.
