One of the most overlooked parts of the car, the cargo area tells you a lot about the cars purpose and the owner. These are my cargo areas. The truck and the CX-3 generally carry nothing.

The ST is empty other than 1 bag with cleaning supplies (detailing spray, glass cleaner and a ton of different cloths) and gopro mounts.

All my work stuff in the Kia

This pretty much explains my trunk (and the rest of my car) organization...I really need to get the interior cleaned right now though...it’s a bit of a mess!

Oh I don’t know if you can handle what my trunk looks like. I am generally an organized person, but there are certain places I kind of... let it go. The trunk is one of them. I generally use everything that’s back there, and you never know what you might need when you regularly carry around two small kids. Like, one day my son threw up in his car seat while I was driving. But in the trunk I had a change of clothes, a towel, a plastic bag to put his dirty clothes in, wipes to clean his car seat (somewhat)... I mean, yeah.

The truck is currently littered with ratchet straps, both little 1" and big 4" ones, one of those full width tow protector guards, an empty hitch holster because my tonneau cover (which has torn stitching) rail prevents me fro m putting any hitches in it, a really old rusty double open end cast iron wrench that I don’t even remember where I found it’s been in there that long, then there’s the usual dirt , rocks, pebbles etc. and the rust, don’t forget the rust.

The Cobalt has a half empty bottle of antifreeze.

The TL has a fancy one too.

The Prelude is gutted, but I don't have any photos handy.

My Fiesta trunk is essentially the same, except replace that duffle bag with one with a first aid kit in it, a tire pump, and washer fluid.

Yes, it’ s raining in the desert this morning. A bit dirty from getting rid of old carpet for this project on the house:

I have a Bestop Instatrunk in my Jeep, which gives me a nice secure spot but also makes the rest of the back inaccessible all winter (soft top). Inconvenient but necessary.

I have a bit more clutter than necessary because I’m doing some 2-way radio testing this weekend with friends.

Starting driver’s side, top to bottom: battery-powered ratchet I use to lower my windshield (probably can remove that now, but I’ll wait to see whether we get another warm spell). Waterproof bag into which I threw my multi-meter. Random trash bag I’ve used for waterproofing.

Yellow waterproof case for my handheld CB. Shovel beneath that.

Lurking behind the shovel: mallet and axe, and a universal lug wrench.

First aid kit, thermos, black waterproof case with my handheld ham and GMRS radios, and finally a jumpstarter battery hiding inside that Ziploc.

Just on the other side of the trunk are more first aid supplies and a DC-powered electric blanket. I’ll start throwing more winter gear in there over the next few weeks.

Ooh, I’ll play!

Trunk is fairly clean at the moment:

Snow scraper (will migrate to the back seats in a month or two)

Tire pump

Piece of door trim that was hanging off after a visit to the shop yesterday (it had been loose, so don’t know if they tried fixing it and made it worse, or if the timing was a coincidence. In any event, I’ve ordered new clips which will hopefully hold it on better.)

Rain coat

Umbrella

Little goodie bag from the dentist

If you open the spare tire well, there’s more assorted stuff:

Oil filter

Breaker bar

Deep socket set

Padded mailer of lug nuts for my old snow tires on my old car (I no longer possess either)? Why do I have these?

License plate bulb

Cheap tire patch kit

Funnel

Jumper cables

Looks like it is about time to mow your trunk?

Min e is large and lined with a tarp and plastic sheeting. For legal reasons, I can't show it.

I’m also removing my super stiff competition-level sway bars to improve ride comfort!

Toning things down for more manageable DD'ing. But once I find the perfect Volvo... Project Miata will go back to crazyness

Range Rover - I’ve just started keeping all my tools that could foreseeably be useful for next to the road repairs back there , because it’s a Range Rover.

Tacoma-can’t open the tailgate with the garage shut and it’s just full of dirt  anyway because I haven’t hosed it out lately. I do put most of what’s in the Rover back there when I’m off roading, but otherwise no need.

I was trying to look for what tune you have on your fiesta, also this looked like a fun game and I was surprised how few oppos have a trunkful of tools.
