^ are you saying your an illegal alien?

ToolPants wins this thread! :D

Thank you all. Thank you. Thank you.

When I saw all the great pictures of stuff in the trunk I knew it would be tough competition, and the usual frog in the trunk picture would not cut it.

Your frog picture was taken in Japan , wasnt it ?

Tool Pants 05-08-2008 02:36 PM

Observant. Yes it was. Found it on one of the Japanese Boxster sites years ago. Don't know what was the deal with a frog hat.

Paul 05-08-2008 06:12 PM

As you can see in the picture below, I had a Porsche in my front trunk.

I lived in Japan for 12 years so I recognize the scenery oh so well. BTW i would think a boxster in Japan would be waste. Due to their traffic congestion and lack of drivable land.

Sweet pic Tool Pants, it is good to know a keg will fit up front. Since kegs are illegal in UT (sigh) you have to smuggle them over the border from places like Evanston, WY. Bored state troopers will pull over trucks they feel might have one and you are screwed. I don't know the severity of the charge but who needs that aggravation.

Tool Pants 05-09-2008 12:37 PM

I thought this was a joke, but after a quick google search.

As of 1990 it is illegal to sell kegs to private people. Something about stopping student keg parties. Cannot possess containers of beer larger than 2 liters. Cannot sell ice where beer is sold.

So I will not be moving to Utah anytime soon. But is it still ok to have 3 wives with your warm beer?

PWebRPH 05-09-2008 01:03 PM

It's more than ok to have 3 wives... hell that is actually the state minimum. Just don't pick up and move your compound to Texas, the Marshalls there frown upon that sort of thing, just watch CNN :D
I actually learned of the keg thing while watching the local news, and I swear I saw the driver getting arrested, no simple ticket or anything. You need a separate forum to explain all the liquor laws in UT; I learn a new one every time I go out. Other than that it is a sweet place to live, especially if you like the outdoors and enjoy driving the Boxster year round. I moved here from NY and only gave myself about 2 years here, it is 4 years now and counting....

Tool Pants 05-09-2008 01:23 PM

This Evanston thing is also true. http://media.www.dailyutahchronicle.com/media/storage/paper244/news/2007/10/31/News/Alcohol.And.The.U.Rolling.Out.The.Kegs-3067587.shtml

You can make a lot of money with your Boxster. No trooper would suspect a Boxster of sumuggling kegs accross state lines. Not even illegal aliens. With all the money you can buy a turbo....

Tool Pants 05-09-2008 04:13 PM

You see, now we're thinking. OK maybe not the illegals, there are plenty here already I'm sure, but something like the Boxster Keg Express sounds very lucrative... I shall give you 10% for the finders fee.

We need a shrub in the trunk picture. This on is a Tauton Yew. :)

Camping trip, all the stuff fit in the front and rear trunks with room to spare. Nothing in the passenger compartment. Willwood bike holder frame with Yakima bike racks.

Where did you put the mirror?

Has nothing to do with with the trunks, but surf's up.
