If you remove the trunk lid, you should be able to get tall things like that down into the trunk well. That seems a little more secure to me.
When my wife had a Sebring convertible, we carried all sorts of tall things home from HD and Lowes in the back seat.

How do you expect that little 4 banger to haul that load? You need something with a V-8! ... and twin trunks...

the drag coefficient was reduced for sure - like driving with a parachute open.
anyway - installed - hot water - need to take a shower after crawling around in that damn crawl space - mine is pretty nice compared to others - but still. saw some snake skins down there : (

You could've parked in the Walmart parking lot and nobody would notice.
Of course you might end up on peopleofwalmart.com. Depends on what you were wearing.

He is right POS. AO is the best. Wait about 3 mo's then call the 1 800 # on the heater. Tell them the pilot will not light and that you need a pilot generator per your plumber. Then put it on the shelf when it arrives. You'll need it later. Or, when it dies within the warranty period you can be without hot water for 5-7 days while waiting on your warranty part. Even your standard water heaters are changing in design quickly and manufacturers are making proprietary parts i.e. left hand threads on thermocouples(American Wtr Htr Co), double offset thermocouple(GE), Thermocouples with single use hi limits (American Wtr Htr Co) and on and on. We get calls on a weekly basis from people like you who wanted to save a few bucks and now have the pleasure of being w/o hot water for a week while waiting on parts or paying $75 for overnite express. They're usually very pissed off, too.

i replaced my electric WATER HEATER 1.5 years ago with a navian tank less water heater - that damn this broker down on me 3 times - this last time i decided to to have it fixed - and go back to an electric WATER HEATER. also, the tankless seemed to take forever for hot water to get to the faucet. i think ge was all that home depot had - i will cross my fingers that i get 10 - trouble free - years out of it. thanks guys.

If you were driving like that on the freeway in LA, the Highway Patrol would be smiling at you as well but for a completely different reason.

I don't get it, this is exactly why we buy 914's. Take the roof off and put it in the passenger seat.
