Kayak's and surfboards dont count unless the top is off too....

then you get bonus points.

carried a 20' stick of base (maybe it was crown) molding on my 914. Had it set across the roof, bungied @ the front and back and the GF holding it in the middle.... Right down the center, no roof (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Nine-foot tall fake tree. Seven-foot tall climbing ivy (with support poles). Six-foot tall step-ladder. The first two were with my GF; the plant sat on the passenger floorboard and she held onto it. Had to go very slowly with the real plant so we didn't tear all the leaves off it.

The ladder was on multiple occasions. Once I drove in to work (notionally a "secure facility") and the guards didn't say a word... I posted a pic on this BBS about it. I think it was about two years ago?

Only one person reacted each time we drove the plants around, too. We're too damn blase in this area I guess!!

My buddy once hauled 75 sixteen ounce drinks and sandwiches from Subway's in the front of his 1.7 without the trunk lid on the highway. You should have seen the other drivers laughing while the soda lids were flying off left and right and getting the sandwiches soaking wet. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

I have had all kinds of funny cramming stories. I once carried 4 other people. On multiple occasions I had 8-10 snowboards buckled in the passenger seat with my mountain bike in the rear trunk and my luggage in the front trunk.

A 914 front hood fits quite nicely behind the seats of a teener with the roof off.

When I was moving from my house to my aunts place as temp lodging, I did have a set of luggage (3 suitcases and a duffle bag), 2 garment bags, and various other stuff in my 73 2.0.

I thought the point was to list unusual things you have carried, not stuff that goes everywhere with the car.... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

My wife bought a 10' live tree. We could not get it in anything we owned, so I took the top off and one of the boys sat in the pass. seat and held on. The burlap wrapped dirt ball was on the floor and at 20mph we did not loose too many leaves. I wish I had a picture to share.

We got a lot of attention on the way home.

Two guys and two entire scuba setups.

2 scuba tanks fit nicely in the rear trunk.

All the rest of the gear and crap fit in the front and (a little in tbe back).

Targa top still stays off.

The nickname of my 914 in highschool was Scuby!

Ha!

A friend of mine was a cheerleader in HS. One of the other girls on the squad had a 914. There were evidently several occasions when they had six girls riding the 914--the driver, one in the passenger's seat, one on the "middle seat", and three across the Targa bar.

I already asked--she doesn't have any pictures of it... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

Back when I had my Ravenna Green 73 2.0 with big twin carb setup and racing slicks, I hauled ass. That car was the ex-Jim Gray 1976 SCCA C-class champion and he had it setup to haul.

What I would give to have that car back. Beautiful, fast and fun!

Not carried but more like housed. I took a nice black widow and her nest off it's tarp yesterday and just killed a brown recluse in the trunk today. All I need is a black snake in the engine compartment and I'd have a grand slam!!


(IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer.gif) Not alcohol induced I'm affraid.

Many years ago when I moved back to Dallas from CA, I carried all my worldly possessions in my 914. Literally everything I owned at the time, including an LE front spoiler that I had not yet installed which had to go diagonally across the cabin. This aroused the curiosity of the folks at the border checkpoint outside El Paso.

I had a 4x10 bass guitar combo amp that I used to haul around all the time. I actually took it with me to look at my first 914 and told the guy if it wouldn't fit then I wouldn't buy it. It fit. . . couldn't ever take anyone to see me play though.

Actually, today i stuffed a BMX bike into the passenger seat area. Part of the handle bars stuck out the rolled down window. The reason why was b/c i had to take the 14' to the shop and i had no ride back. So i took the bike w/ me and ran some errands around town w/ the bike. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
