Show them this.

I just returned from a week long trip to Florida. In the car was myself, wife, and 19 month old son along with all this gear which fit into the trunk:

1 Huge suitcase
1 Large duffel bag
1 set of golf clubs
1 case of beer
1 bag tools
1 baby high chair
1.5 bags of 40 count diapers
1 laptop bag with laptop
1 play dump truck
1 plastic bucket set

Not pictured, but was put in the trunk later:

2 days worth of groceries
1 full size pillow





Oh, and the car got 29mpgs on the 450 mile trek in 90+ degree weather and the cruise at 80mph.

 

Budweiser??? j/k

You did a fine job packing all that **** in there. Hope the trip was worth taking all those diapers. ha ha.

 

Dave,

I noticed you couldn't leave your Elmo at home. Aren't you a little old to still be playing with stuffed animals?

Wow, that is some great gas mileage.

 

Elmo is my son's. The dump truck is mine.

The MPGs blew me away too. My previous best was a high 27s. I attribute the excellent MPGs to a slight tailwind and a downward grade from 1200' in Atlanta down to sea level in St. Augustine, FL. I got a crack over 28mpg on the way back.

 

Nice packing and great mileage. Now return my bucket, I have nothing to play in the sand with!

 

no one has ever told me the G trunk is small?!?!?!?!

 

 

yeah, people that see my trunk say wow--thats a big trunk.

 

haha, what a cool pop's.
I think the trunk is pretty big...last time my gf pissed me off, I stuffed her in there and she fit pretty well.

Edit:
On the serious note, the gas mileage is impressive.

 

Did you go on the tour of the huanted houses while In St Aug?

 

I'd throw them in the trunk for a bit...

The G35's trunk is good sized, but the only compaint people may have is that the opening for the trunk can be a bit bigger, or at least at a better angle.

 

I'm headed down to Houston next weekend to the space center! And of course the G is providing the transportation. Wow, 29mpg is awesome. I'll be happy with 24 or 25. The trunk is truely a decent size and I'm glad you stood up for the elmo abuse. That's crap, plus elmo doesn't travel in the trunk, he sits up front!

 

Great pics. I just measure the size of car trunks in dead hookers. For example my old '94 T-bird could hold 3 dead hookers. My G's trunk can hold 2.5 dead hookers.

 

i've easily fit six dead hookers with room to spare. you must be working with some fat hookers

 

That's because you cut the hookers up into pieces. I'm not sick like that.
