I got a call last night from my wife. She bought a new coffee table and asked if I could pick it up for her. I said I am driving the 914 (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) She said "it will fit"
(IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) So I get there and see the table. Solid Oak wooden table measures 30 inches wide by 50 inches long (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) top off... wattya know... it fit! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) I drove 40 miles from Maryland to PA with a huge wooden table sticking 3 foot in the air balanced in the passenger seat (IMG:style_emoticons/default/cheer.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/cheer.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/cheer.gif) Who's next (IMG:style_emoticons/default/popcorn[1].gif) |

And a set of four 9" racing slicks on my way to the local AX. One in the front trunk and 3 on the passenger seat.
That was quite interesting ... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) |

I recently hauled my SS rocker panels to the powdercoater, but I did it in the DD. One of these.
(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/static.howstuffworks.com-10752-1300123214.1.jpg) I had to position them with one end in the passenger footwell and the other end wedged between the passenger headrest and the B-pillar, which put the end about 12" from the face of my 4 year old son, strapped into his back-seat car seat on the way to school. Made sure my wife didn't see that arrangement, and it was only for about 3 miles. But I thought about carrying them in the 914 instead, pointed skyward. |

No teener story, but I did carry an 8 foot tall plum tree in the passenger seat of the Corvette. It was a short ride so I didn't even have to bungee it to the T-top bar.

a couple of 8-10' tall trees in the passenger seat with the top off. stayed off the freeway, fortunately for those poor trees.
on another trip, a 37" tube tv (remember tubes?). 500 lbs. of landscaping rock. maintained good weight balance by using both trunks! see the avatar, ha ha! |

Going to one swap meet. I fit a total of 8 wheels. 4 with tires & 4 without. I think I had the 4 with tires up fron along with 2 without tires. the other 2 rims went in the front trunk. In the rear trunk I had 2 sets of heat exchangers along with a fair amount of smaller stuff.
Of course I didn't sell the wheels with the tires (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) . So I had to pack them back home in the 914. No to mention all the other crap I bought there. I think I had more in my 914 going home than I had brought to begin with. |

I was at a garage sale and saw a fully assembled engine stand for sale. They wanted $20, I offered $10. Lady looked at the the car and said "I'll give it to you for $5 if you can fit it in there. I smiled, handed her the fin, walked over to some tools for sale and picked up a $2 Crescent wrench. Loosened the bottom bolt and it all came apart. The front trunk just swallowed it up.

This is pretty big also. |

a couple of 8-10' tall trees in the passenger seat with the top off. stayed off the freeway, fortunately for those poor trees. Me too, but I carried the (fake) trees at two different times! I also carried a ~12-foot step ladder. To work at NASA. No second looks, they just waved me in, even with the big ol' ladder sticking up out of the cockpit. A friend of mine was a cheerleader back in HS (before I knew her). Another one of the cheerleaders drove a 914; they used to drive around with six of them in the car. One in the driver's seat, one in the passenger seat, one in the middle "seat" location, and three across the roll bar. --DD |
