Talk to me about the trunk
 

Can I fit 2 carry-ons into it? Can I fit one carry-on? Should I invest in spongy duffel bags instead?:iono:

Not sure about carry-ons but it fits 2 dead hookers just fine.

Not sure of what you mean by "carry ons" but if you mean the standard size bags that airlines accept you can easily get two in there with the back seat still up. With the seat down you can probably get 10 in there.


You have to follow the factory placement guide though. Make sure you get the handbags in the proper place as well.

Can absolutely fit 2 of my hard-sided roller carry on bags, plus laptop bag and backpack. If it they were made to fit in a standard overhead bin, you're good to go.

Edit: oops, was I not supposed to have a real answer? :lol:

If you want to know what fits, there is a thread for that. Check out the Junk in the Trunk thread. 18 pages of examples.

Nah. Legit question gets a real answer.


THEN the joke answer.

Thanks all including the jokes.

Here's an alternative storage method for your carrion

you can fit legit carryons, two of them, easily. With other crap around them. It holds three luggage pieces really, and a few handy bag things.

I put dead hookers in my check in bags though.

Easily fits two carry on bags - below is two carry on - backpack for my computer, a train case (old school cosmetic case) a soft sided cooler and various other shit

Real question is how much beer will it carry?

Enough that you should probably consider renting kegs instead of filling an 86.

Dead hookers are so overrated

Don't assume his fetish.

This is true, don't want to ruin your warranty.

In 15 months of ownership I only put one thing in the trunk.

http://i.imgur.com/tlNRi0b.jpg if you fold the seat down there is plenty of room. here is a set of golf clubs, a carry on, my laptop bag, my girlfriends huge bag, a smaller bag is hidden, 2 queen pillows, a tub of 96 golfballs, and 2 boxes of wine.

yup tons of room. Even enough for a standard size luggage suitcase and a bunch of other crap. Only real problem is the height, but still plenty of height for carry on size luggage.

But I'm not sure a keg will fit.

why do you think you can remove the passenger seat? That will make a keg fit perfectly.

If the weight of a new battery can throw the handling of the car off, imagine what a full keg in the passenger seat will do to it!

Uhh what? Have you never driven with someone else in the car?

Ah, it was a reference to a ridiculous thread that popped up on here a couple months ago.

im not sure if that made my day better or just pissed me off more.

Whenever I have a passenger I just switch over to aluminum lug nuts on that side. Can really feel the difference.

Okay let's talk about the trunk.

The trunk, or proboscis, is a fusion of the nose and upper lip, although in early fetal life, the upper lip and trunk are separated. The trunk is elongated and specialised to become the elephant's most important and versatile appendage. It contains up to 150,000 separate muscle fascicles, with no bone and little fat. These paired muscles consist of two major types: superficial (surface) and internal. The former are divided into dorsals, ventrals, and laterals while the latter are divided into transverse and radiating muscles. The muscles of the trunk connect to a bony opening in the skull. The nasal septum is composed of tiny muscle units that stretch horizontally between the nostrils. Cartilage divides the nostrils at the base. As a muscular hydrostat, the trunk moves by precisely coordinated muscle contractions. The muscles work both with and against each other. A unique proboscis nerve – formed by the maxillary and facial nerves – runs along both sides of the trunk.
Elephant trunks have multiple functions, including breathing, olfaction, touching, grasping, and sound production. The animal's sense of smell may be four times as sensitive as that of a bloodhound. The trunk's ability to make powerful twisting and coiling movements allows it to collect food, wrestle with other elephants, and lift up to 350 kg (770 lb). It can be used for delicate tasks, such as wiping an eye and checking an orifice, and is capable of cracking a peanut shell without breaking the seed. With its trunk, an elephant can reach items at heights of up to 7 m (23 ft) and dig for water under mud or sand. Individuals may show lateral preference when grasping with their trunks: some prefer to twist them to the left, others to the right. Elephants can suck up water both to drink and to spray on their bodies. An adult Asian elephant is capable of holding 8.5 L (2.2 US gal) of water in its trunk. They will also spray dust or grass on themselves. When underwater, the elephant uses its trunk as a snorkel.
The African elephant has two finger-like extensions at the tip of the trunk that allow it to grasp and bring food to its mouth. The Asian elephant has only one, and relies more on wrapping around a food item and squeezing it into its mouth. Asian elephants have more muscle coordination and can perform more complex tasks. Losing the trunk would be detrimental to an elephant's survival, although in rare cases, individuals have survived with shortened ones. One elephant has been observed to graze by kneeling on its front legs, raising on its hind legs and taking in grass with its lips. Floppy trunk syndrome is a condition of trunk paralysis in African bush elephants caused by the degradation of the peripheral nerves and muscles beginning at the tip.

Ok so let's call it the boot then...

I'll just leave this here...

How did I miss that one!

Slacker.

Good idea, it was getting difficult recruiting a friend to help steer every time I have to stop for groceries.

Hey it may work...

Here's an example of it in an aircraft, see the photo below of a Rotorway Exec light helicopter. Notice the "tip" on the far (right) skid? That is actually a weight. When you are flying without a passenger it goes there. If you flying with a passenger it fits over the white pipe right behind the cabin under the boom.

On the skid it is enough to counter weight the missing weight of a passenger. On the back it's along the centerline and has not impact. It weighs 24 lbs but because of its location along the arm counteracts the missing weight of a 200lb person in the passenger seat.
