My little focus has carried a large gun safe in the hatch, a 28 foot extension ladder with a bunch of siding on the roof, and routinely pulls a trailer with a mower on it.

Pfft, who needs a truck? Where's the fun in that?

Hint: I need a truck and there's no fun in any of what I said above.
 
I saw a guy load a 50ā€ plasma on end in the back seat of a convertible Mustang about 12yr ago, when TV boxes were still large enough for a grown adult to easily fit in, on Black Friday. He was determined.

We donā€™t care actually. All clowns should own a clown car. Hehehe.

I gave away a couch once and the people showed up in a Kia SUV. I was like that's not gonna fit inside. The little red neck guy said "I was planning on putting her on top." I helped him get it on top and he flipped it over and bust his windshield when foot hit it about 4 inches down.
 
My Jeep Wrangler moved all my apartment furniture when I was in college. Took several trips, but bedroom set, sleeper sofa, huge chest of drawers all got lashed to the top.
 
I hauled more stuff in / on a Mazda Tribute than I care to admit.You can get two 330' rolls of field fence and 24 4" posts in / on a Mazda Tribute.....and really odd looks from the Tractor Supply people.

Beats being crushed by your couch, when the driver hits the breaks. šŸ™„

kungfu grip on that couch
 
I brought home a 9ft birch tree in a 10gal bucket. Dropped the top in the mustang and had it sit in the back seat. All legal too... It was seatbelted in.
 
I've ratchet strapped a queen size box spring and mattress to the top of my little Mazda 5 before. Through the open windows lol

It wasn't pretty but you'd be surprised how much crap a small car will haul.

A couple used one of these to pull their camper to the campground the other weekend.

I'm seriously considering that as an option in future trips.
 
I hauled 2 10' sections of Rohn 25 communications tower in my 88 Mustang GT Hatch. Fold the seats down , slide em in and off we go!

I refuse to stop making fun of your tiny clown cars because they're stupid.

Know what I can do in my pickup truck? Be comfortable.

You got me there. You know why people take the doors off jeeps? Because theyā€™re tired of squishing their nuts. There is no room for manspreading with the doors on.

A brand new jeep is pretty far from a clown car. It's about a foot wider than a jeep was 40 years ago.


What is it that always comes up whenever people are towing a camper? "Just because you can doesn't mean it's safe" I think is how it goes.
 
I rented a U-Haul truck when I moved. Man, it made what could have been a soul sucking job a lot easier.

I don't understand why some people insist on tying furniture to the tops of tiny cars, etc.
 
I picked up a new mattress and box spring at costco in my shiny new Tacoma one day. with the short bed, they rode with one end up over the cab, strapped down. when I hit about 40mph I heard ***CRUNCH*** ... the wind caught the box spring and folded it in half at the strap. fun day.

Next time I move, Iā€™m not moving. Itā€™s a PITA. We started a moving fund for whenever we pull the trigger and move west of Charlotte. Iā€™m renting a truck that comes with humans.
 
i was riding with 2 buddies in a ford escort when they saw a couch on the side of the road and decided they wanted to take it back to their apartment.
we made it work, without having to put the couch on top of the car...

also, I went to exchange out a misaligned triple bag bagger for my riding mower at lowes. when the guy brought out the new one he looked at my little cobalt coupe and said "there's no way you can fit this in there".
I looked at him and asked "you do realize i brought the other one back in this car, right?"
He was like " ... do you mind if i watch you do this?"
 
Where there's a will, there's a way.

It's amazing what you can fit into (or on top of) a vehicle when necessity rears its head.

My oldest brother was cleaning out his woodshop one day and he had about a dozen or so sheets of wood paneling from years gone by. "You want any of this?" "No, but let me give my father-in-law a call."

Dad said "Aw, shoot, bring it down! I'll use it!"

Strapped it all down on top of my LeSabre and drove from Manassas, VA to Simpsonville, SC with it. Left at night so I could drive at a reduced speed, but didn't have any problems.

College days...barracks moves...all kinds of moves.

at least you have that courtesy for others...
I've brought some nice long 4x4s sticking out of the trunk of my cobalt too. but yeah, do it at night right before they close. Not necessarily for the safety of others, but for me to avoid trouble.
 
Iā€™ve been in the receiving end of this thread. I created a hill in mocksville awhile back and came across a brain surgeon hailing a couch in a pickup. It wasnā€™t tied down. A semi drove past and the damn brown leather loveseat filled my windshield. Just barely missed it.
