I went to Ace hardware store for irrigation plugs. While there I saw a water hose reel that I've been wanting. I'm walking out all happy about finally getting this thing when I realize, "uh oh....I brought the stang." Now I know the cars limitations.

Anyone else use there stang for larger purchases?

So? Did you drive with it in your front seat? Or?


I've had a big multifunction printer barely fit in the trunk before.

Last time I did a job for Uncle Vinnie, I had a similar problem. Dude must've been 6'4" if he was an inch. Had to fold him like a wet rigatoni to get him in that trunk.

yep... it was a lawnmower... The high edge of the trunk lid kept it about 1" short of falling into place. I ran the passenger seat all the way back and reclined... it fit, but wasn't fun.

I bought a new desk chair for my home computer. Had to remove all the pieces because the box would not fit in either the trunk or the passenger seat. I did manage to get a lawnmower in the trunk of my 2012 mustang when I had it.

Years ago, when I had a 99 Trans Am, I bought a 55" flat screen. Slid it in from the rear and had to drive home with my head against the window. No way I'd get one to fit in my Mustang.

Nope. Got rid of the large purchases cause she kept complaining how her fat ass won't fit in the Recaros and I need to get better seats for her

Dad always said, "it's better to ask for forgiveness(if you really have to), than to ask for permission."

Adults or large children don't fit in the backseat. Sizable objects don't fit through the trunklid. My GT350 isn't for cargo hauling! I have a truck for that.

I brought home two 12' x 20' car storage tents last year. The folks at Canadian Tire thought I was insane, but folded the seats down and they both fit in. Scratched the bumper a little taking them out though.

I ordered my PP2 and exhaust at the same time, and I had them held at my FedEx Office so they didn't sit by my front door all day. It took about 20 minutes of Tetris to get both inside the car.
