VX more useful than I thought

granted, it's not our first choice for transporting the kids, but taking them to the zoo is doable!

The list of stuff I've crammed in without removing my seats or leaving the door opened is incredible! A full size dryer in the carton, a big BBQ in the carton, new shower doors in the carton, tall bookcases, big screen TV in carton, etc etc etc. I always think stuff will NEVER go in and it always does.... I've never had to go get another vehicle except for my 150 gallon fishtank. Don't try that one.

Hmm... I only got one in there, and I had to lift her over the back seat, but it worked.



I've also managed the 42" LCD panel in a box. That was scary-tight. It was lying at an angle against the backs of the front seat. But I had to make it work, because the guys at Best Buy were taking bets on it not fitting.

I also tried to buy 3'X8' sections of gridwall. I thought I'd just lash them to the roof rack. I got them all the way out to the VX before I realized that I didn't actually /own/ a roof rack...

That was dumb.

Great story about the gridwall, I was laughing while holding my son trying to get him to sleep. Rest assured, I had to place both the kids in the cars seats while hoisting them over the back seat, but with the headrests removed and me having somewhat long arms, it was no biggie. Ask me again when they fatten up and weigh more though...
