It is wood pickup day soon for our local garbage collection...which means taking the old lumber from our recently-replaced front deck floor down the 100-metre driveway to the curb for pickup.

I could’ve used a wheelbarrow or carried a few pieces down at a time piece by piece, but this was easier and faster! Don’t worry, I wasn’t going on the road like this, just rolling down the driveway in neutral with the engine off, unloading, then driving back up! :)

Hatchbacks are so much more practical than sedans. I have tried (in vain) many times to get my wife to see that, but she just refuses to believe it.

Good job thinking outside the box.

That’s impressive....especially given the minimal trunk space! :P

My brother and mother both have sedan versions of the same car. I flat out refused to get a sedan because of the practicality aspect (I also flat out refused to get an automatic for obvious JalOppo reasons :P).

You don’t need it all the time, but when you do, it’s a godsend!

O.o.... you have a wood pick up day?

we just wait for someone in the area to rent one of these

and then we all become garbage ninjas around 3 am

strange how those things are always fuller come dawn than they were at dusk

Liftbacks are a great midway.
