How versatile are these cars?

A guy once said to me "nice car, but it would suck as a work truck."

Oh, I beg to differ.

It's a vehicle for transport.

The cars have maybe a ~3-body trunk*, 4 if you push it? That's not bad.


*No, I'm not that crazy. Bodies just happen to be the standard measure of trunk space. I was at a Dodge dealer a few months ago, and the salesperson opened up of the back of a Charger to show off how roomy it was. She proudly proclaimed it was at least a 6-body trunk.

Actually the rumor I heard was she was residing in a homeless shelter in Buffalo.

I am not sure my last MIL would fit in a 6 body trunk. Plus she was so evil she would have caused the car to melt around her as she rose from the ashes, pitchfork in hand.

True that, and thank goodness it holds something. My other car is a convertible CLK430 and it has an even smaller trunk. Otherwise, I would have had to walk that stuff over.

Luckily, I live in a townhouse and only needed three bails of pine straw, and live just a few blocks from where picked this up.
