and yeah the rear trunk is empty.

oh wow I figured out how to reduce the size of the picture.

For a second there I thought the word after "big ole bottle of ____" would be regret cause I thought you were talking about the rear trunk lol. Milk would have got to ******************** in a hurry, but man isnt our front trunk AWESOME!

I went to take my brother to the airport and his suitcase wouldn't fit in my front trunk, at least not with it closed. He e-mailed me and asked me to pick him up on Friday in a car with a trunk.

I actually am really happy that my rolling bag I use for work fits perfectly in my back trunk.

I went to Lowes this weekend... bought a leaf blower/vac... case of bottle water, trash can for under the kitchen sink and some other odds and ends...

fit the trash can in the front trunk, case of water in rear with odds and ends and
leaf blower in the passenger seat!!!

It always amazes me how much more storage room I have in the box than the
M roadster!!

I had many envious stares in the Lowes parking lot!

Come on rookie! You can fit more than that in there.

I never fear a trip to Cotco, & I love the looks I get when I roll up to the Boxster with my cart full of TP, paper towels, case of water, case of yogurt, laundry detergent and other assorted items.

My biggest haul to date, a new vacuum cleaner (in the front seat), a 14-piece cookware set (in the frunk) and a few things in the trunk. Love this car!

Here is my shopping list from Sam's Club every weekend. My Pops and I use the 996 for grocery shopping.

Almost everything fits in the front trunk.

10lbs. of strawberries(go on the floor of the rear seats)
4 bags of bananas
1 case of Nestle water bottles
2 honeydews
1 box of 2bags of Special K
1 box of 3 frozen pizzas(no trans fat)
2 gallons of fat free milk
1 pack of corn tortillas
1 3lb. bag of frozen mixed veggies
1pack of ground turkey
1 pack of chicken breast
8 cans of solid white albacore tuna

It's packed to the MAX. I will have to take a picture next time. There is absolutely no space at all after we get it in.

I had an M Roadster before the Boxster and learned the importance of trunk space. The dual trunks was actually a key reason for getting the Boxster. That and the fact I totalled the M Roadster at Sear's Point

.

When I go to the track, the Boxster is fitted with:
- A full-sized tool box with just about all my tools
- A second tool box w/ extra brake pads, lap timer, tire pressure gauge, pyrometer, serpentine belt, sparkplugs, brake fluid, wheel bolts, spacers, wheel chocks, magnetic numbers, etc.
- Portable air compressor/battery
- Windex and towels
- Full-sized jack
- 2 jack stands
- 2 folding chairs
- 22" overnight bag
- Laptop backpack
- 2 helmets, gloves, neck brace

It's pretty amazing how much you can fit in there.

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

just yesterday at school a couple of kids were marveling over how I put my stuff in the front trunk...they said "Wow, that's the coolest car ever!" and I said "Thanks, and it even has a trunk in the back." "Wow" was the only answer I could hear

Another recent time, other middle school kids said "That is a really nice car!" and asked me what it was: I said "It's a Porsche, you should get one!"

Hopefully they will remember that and do that.
Moral of the story: stay in school

jonnycool · 04-26-2008, 06:07 PM

well the rear trunk is occupied by my german shepard being second dawg n'all, pictures withheld due to possible prosecution!!!

PerfectLap seems so be able to start these threads better'n most.

LoveBunny · 04-27-2008, 01:44 PM

I haven't been to the grocery store since this thread has started, but I fit in my front trunk pretty well.

Perfectlap · 04-27-2008, 02:01 PM

^ LB you got any junk in that trunk?

987gator · 05-03-2008, 04:16 AM

I finally understand why the neon green emergency release handle is in the frunk - people really can get stuck in there. LoveBunny - be careful.

I finally went to the grocery store and here is a picture. I have a case of water, case of Diet Coke, case of Diet Red Bull, bottle of wine, a bunch of frozen dinners and some other small things and a huge purse in the back trunk.

As I was loading it in there a guy walked up next to me and goes, "Wow, I didn't know those things had trunks." Then he offered to trade vehicles with me and let me have his Expedition so I could have more trunk space. Wasn't that generous of him?

I can fit a full golf bag in the rear trunk compartment.. I'll have to take a pic of it.. its a full staff bag too.. its like the trunk was designed for it....

rick3000 · 05-05-2008, 06:32 AM

^ I think the trunk was designed for it.

Are you underneath your groceries, then?
Oops...re-read... this is the back trunk!
Not your m.o.
