i had that happen to me too. went to home depot and took a look at the hose reel ont he shelf and in my head i though it would fit in the trunk. once i tried putting it in the trunk and failed i thought, well i'll put it in the back seat. wrong, did not fit. ended up in the front seat.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?
