I've packed a Peavy cabinet, Marshall head, and an Ibanez(pretty much my whole guitar setup) in my vert. While it was NOT comfortable, it did work and I won't be doing it again...hopefully.

I carried a stock exhaust from the muffler to the tips with the top up, had to slide it under where the top folds down.

When i was working at home depot, a guy in a vette convertable had me load 6 bags of 60lb concrete, 5 piece 2x4x8 lumber and a cinder block to put on top of it, i wanted to nail him in the face with the bag of concrete

Cant say I have ever hauled anything in my car. At most Ive had 2 other people in thecar. I took out the rear seats for the track and never put them back in. Makes it an easy exscuse as to why I cant take my buddies to the club. Only 1 person can ride w me

My hockey gear fits in the trunk no problems... but I was selective about getting a bag that fits.

but boy do I have that one beat....


I moved 8 tires at a time in my TA at a time when Goodyear was offloading their Eagle stock in 2002. 1 in the trunk, 1 in the passenger feet area, 1 on the pass set, 4 accross the back seat like a roll of lifesavers, and one on top of them (tires in bags tied down).

I've owned both. The coupes can also haul quite a bit of stuff since the seats also fold down, and they don't have that bridge blocking the trunk like a convertible. You can fit four full-size wheels/tires in the back of a coupe, with the hatch closed. Five if you stick one in the passenger front seat
