One neatly folded white sheet (280 thread count of course) covering the whole floor, in case I actually have to put something back there. :lol:

8 cases of ceramic tile. (that was heavy, I drove slow)
1 motorcycle wheel and new tire.
2 12" JL audio subs w/ MDF enclosure.
2 cases of water and various other SAMS club items.

I'm sure the list goes on.

2 canvas tote bags
the crossfire luggage with wheels and the tote bag
2 small toolboxes
2 ton floor jack
sailboat rudder, disassembled
3 antique wooden canada dry cases
Small tire for a trailer
Laptop bag


It took three tries and some comments from the neighbors before i got it to fit. I did not even consider how much it could hold when i got the car but I continue to be amazed by how much it does.

Yeah, I might have but they arn't worth the gas their additional weight would use (for reference the Hobbit mini's are about 1 inch tall, metal, on a lead filled base 1 inch wide... but, with gas prices these days...). I have several versions of each, just to complete the collection, but I never field them as part of an army unless the scenario demands it, then I still try and weasle out of it.

If I really had it my way, i wouldn't field that foo-foo elf, nor that whiney wanna-be ranger, either. But, I can't argue with their battlefield effectiveness.

Nothing to make a DaimlerChrysler Exec cringe: a Laptop and an LCD Projector. That makes up the most that has been put in the trunk. Even though it is quite a large and capacious trunk.

Since this is an old post I will refer to an old image in my gallery. I brought home 3 - 50+ pound Bois d’Arc blocks. They were a booger to get in and out.
I have a buddy that traffics in junk metal. I sometimes take bags of cans and various junk out to him.

3 - 4 foot long soft lacrosse bags full of equipment and 2 - 6 foot lacrosse shafts. Also enough stuff to get me from school to home for college breaks except for summer!

i have definately put my lacrosse gear in the back. amazingly it all fit, as well as my goalie stick and short stick. never tried to stick a d-pole in there, i imagine an adventure to get that in there. still surprised in general that my lacrosse stuff fit in there after all the gear the bag has collected over the years.

Over a 1/2 million dollars worth (street value) of medical grade narcotics.

I use to make perscription drug deliveries to area hospitals, but I don't anymore. The drug company moved from Canton Ohio to New Castle PA.

I have hauled a Gator rack case containing two synthesizers. To drive the synths a hard cased Yamaha WX5 (it's like an electronic saxophone) and a small Crate amp for power are packed. That gear goes in pretty easily. Then goes in a 1932 vintage Conn tenor saxophone in a Protec case. That fits, but barely.
I bought that horn from a guy in England. When it arrived at my local PO, I was excited and rushed down to pick it up. Yep, I should have taken another car! In its shipping box there was no way it would fit anywhere inside the Crossfire. I ended up unpacking it in the PO (plastic "peanuts" everywhere). Then, the cased horn just fit in the cargo area and the crushed shipping box got the passenger's space.

When I pull up, I'm in the sharpest equipment hauler on the lot. Well, there is one trumpet player who transports his horn in his Porsche, he might argue; but I like the Crossfire.
