The Groceries in your Trunk thread

[8 Ball]

In one of my trips to LA, I was on the bus from the airport to Santa Monica and I saw this guy with his surfboard in his Porsche. Not a Boxster but only in LA. Actually this was the point where I attach photo and then find out it is way too big to post here and I don't have photoshop to reduce the size. I'll catch up with you guys later with that

What's sometimes pretty funny is when you've got enough groceries that you have to put some of the (nonperishable) stuff in back. If anybody notices you doing that, you can get some mystified looks as they try to figure where in heck Porsche put the engine.

One guy actually came up to me and asked about this.

"It's powered by dilithium crystals." I told him.

He looked perplexed, maybe even impressed for a couple secs...then we both started cracking up.

I was able to fit an old colored iMac in the front trunk with enough room to spare for my two small duffle bags, and some random other things. The front trunk is awesome, and was a major factor is purchasing this car.

Haha! I like that one. When i get the "Where's the engine?" question, I always say "Oh, all the new Porshes use virtual engines. Really saves on gas mileage." They always get that look like "Woh! damn, where have I been?!" Then i get to tell them the awesome feeling of sitting on the engine. Gotta love mid-engine.

You don't need photoshop to reduce the size of pictures. Microsoft has a slick little tool you can download that will do the job for you (three different size choices). Go to:

and click on "ImageResizer.exe"

Looks like stuff my brother buys.

I think it's interesting to see what kind of groceries people have. And blinkwatt buys 10 pounds of strawberries every week! Wow. I wish I was that healthy.

And I also think it's pretty cool that most people on this forum are male and are going to the grocery store. Please tell me where I find one of these men to go get my groceries for me because I DETEST going to the store.

I have never itemized, but I get over $300 of groceries in the trunks without putting anything in the passenger seat.

My wife also hates grocery shopping, and I don't mind. But I do buy enuf stuff that I don't have to go very often.

Groceries? What groceries?

I didn't take a picture, but on Saturday I fit 23 bottles of 2005 Pontet Canet in the trunks - only 5 in the rear...

$300 worth of groceries? Of course you can get it in your trunk! That's only one little bag!

[gmboxster]

Thats OUTSTANDING!! The largest thing I've put in my Box is my 6'4" 215lb frame lol. Fits quite nicely I must say.

I just broke that amount last week. $430 but had to put large toilet paper pack in the passenger seat.

That's right, two little bags in the trunks.

LB, all you have to do is find that one person who fits. My wife hates the grocery store and hates cooking. I hate doing the laundry and general cleaning.

So.... I do most of the grocery shopping, cooking and loading the dishwasher. She does all the laundry and general cleaning. I think it is a fair trade, I have not done a load of laundry in 12 years. She can't stand cooking and I think it is relaxing to sit with a glass of wine and put together a nice dinner. Now.... I just have to find a way to get my 6 year old to eat like my 4 year old.

Do you think it's possible I could find a man who grocery shops, cooks, cleans (especially toilets), takes out the trash, does laundry, and irons? Now that I think about it, I think my dad does all that. Guess that's why my parents have been married 40+ years!

Went to Lowe's last week for fertilizer, top soil, etc. I was amazed that I not only got all 6 bags to fit (4 in front, 2 in rear), but I had room for at least 2 or 3 more bags.

This car's beauty is more than skin deep!!

LB, you crack me up. You sound just like my sister in her 20's. I know you are somewhat joking but you can't get everything without some compromise. You have to do something on that list. (who does it now?)

Your dad is an exception, he really spoils your mom. It is going to be tough for your future boyfriends to live up to your dad. Very tough. You will have to lower your expectations.

Things change when you get married.... get ready for compromise (toilet cleaning?)

[Paul]

We raised two kids.

I changed 2 diapers and never got up at night.

I never shop.

I never cook.

I never do laundry.

I do all the car repairs, house repairs, and outside maintenance.

My wife hates to work.

I earn all the money.

We have been enjoying life and marriage for 35 years. Kinda weird nowadays...
