So about that 699lb weight limit of our car....
 

How serious is it?

I never noticed it until today, when I was reading the label for tire pressures and saw the warning.

I've definitely exceeded this limit before. Had a four hour road trip up to Binghamton NY with 4 of my friends. So 5 of us total in the car with bags in the trunk. Just our body weight alone was 735lbs (figured it out with them today).

So uhh.. should I avoid doing that? LOL

it just means if you exceed that limit, your car won't handle like it was designed.

Hmm. Okay thats not so bad. Had no trouble going 80-100 on the emptier roads upstate. I'll avoid going nuts with that much weight in the future then.

Where do I sign up for this luxury cruise? Pics or GTFO.

I wouldn't sweat it. You didn't break anything except your passengers.

Wait you fit 5 ppl in brz?

That must be a record..........of small friends. :D

Covered the faces of my friends for privacy LOL.

I'm 205, other front seat was 195. The three in the back only add up to bout 335.

Seems like the one stuck in the middle would be the least happy. :D

She actually claimed to be very comfy... Very odd.

Halfway through the ride, she did end up stretching her legs out to the front passenger seat and almost laying down though.


But anyway, gonna try to avoid having rides like this in the future. Wasn't comfortable (or safe) for any of us after a while. Never have I ever sat up so straight while driving lol.

Ah, to be so young and free... :cheers:

That my friend, is amazing that you managed to fit FIVE people in the car. I would imagine that the person in the middle must've been at least uncomfortable at some point.

That's what I thought when I read your post, then I saw the OP posted below yours and suspicion confirmed!

edit: Even still the OP said no one was comfortable...so there you go. Lesson is...treat this car like it's a two seater and you'll be golden.

I read this as "I mean this in the most racist way possible...." LMAO

LOL SAME. im dying. :lol:

My grandsons (8 and 13) fit back there and love it. My daughter rode back there for half an hour, got out whining about cramps in her feet, a headache from hitting her head and nausea from the bumps and loud exhaust. Needless to say she will not ride back there again.

Right? I mean it really is terribly racist....but I swear I don't mean it that way.


I'm a horrible person...I show myself out now...

In college, I fit 10 drunken pledges into a '77 Honda Civic wagon (two in the front, eight stacked like cordwood in the back) for a Fraternity "initiation" stunt, and drove them 15 miles to relieve themselves on a huge rock outside a rival college's chapter of the same Fraternity.

Agh..the good old days when you didn't get killed (or arrested) doing something stupid on the road.....Sadly also (way) before cellphones so no photographic evidence.

Yeah I can only see kids or very tiny people "enjoying" the ride back there. I'm nearly 6 feet tall and climbed back there to see how bad it is....it was so much worse than I had thought it would be. :(

I have never once sat back there. Maybe I should give it a try.

It certainly is eye opening...at least it was for me.

However I'm very much like you. I never have passengers in my cars. And when I do it's only one person.

I'm 5'10 and I cant even sit up straight back there or my head hits the window.

Also, I discovered sitting behind the drivers seat is actually better than sitting behind the passenger's seat. Its cause the driver seat can actually go up/down, so theres more foot room x.x

I have no idea what you all are talking about. I've tried to look back there but I can't see anything that looks like a seat, just a little shelf I thought was where the optional wet bar goes. Is it behind the partition in the trunk? Maybe like an old-timey rumble seat? You know, I tried to put a full grocery bag behind my seat once, but I couldn't squeeze it through any of the gaps -- I had to drive home with it in my lap.:bonk:

PS I love Tcoat -- whenever I see his avatar I know there's some fun somewhere.

This is why you gotta do some weight reduction. So you can fit more friends.

No don't~ Tcoat you might never come back. :happyanim:

The car weighs in around 2800lbs. 5 people weigh approx 700lbs. That is approx. 25% of the total weight of the car. :eyebulge:

I would be scared. Real scared.

Or you could....you know, make them take their own cars....:thumbup:

I have a phone with data. All is good.

Now I wonder how long our car's battery will keep a phone charged.

I vote he starves first

You haven't seen the inside of my car. I am god for weeks.

Pretty long I would thi

You feel pretty powerful in that lil car eh?

Good I meant good!
God forever not just weeks.

I rode in the back once, when MomHawk was test driving the car. I'm 5'7" and it was OK, although I wouldn't want to ride there for more than a short trip.

I've also been trapped back there once when cleaning the back glass and the front seat slid back and locked. Yea, that was fun...

you do seem to have a fairly large following.... but a god for a few weeks might be stretching it.

Our Tcoat, which art in forum,
Hallowed be thy Username.
Thy sarcasm come.
Thy spam be done in threads,
As it is in forum.
Give us this day our daily meme.
And forgive us our grammer,
As we forgive them that miss spell against us.
And lead us not into Mustangs,
But deliver us from V8s.
For thine is the sports car,
The Subie and the Toyota,
For 4 or 5 years.
Ahhh Man
