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

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 found a few interesting photos and thought that I would add to the thread. My personal best is a 20 gallon rubbermaid trash can. I also found a picture of me in the trunk of a Miata, not so roomy.

Wow, I never would have a pictured a grown man fitting in the trunk of a Miata. Did you have trouble getting out? The garbage can is funny. I wouldn't have pictured that fitting either.

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.

I was actually being useful, I was tightening the nuts on the upper shock mount. The trunk would have closed but it would have pressed on my shoulders and probably not opened again so we didn't try. I am only buying groceries for one so I rarely surpass $50 in one shot, so no competition from me on that one.

I only buy groceries for one and I just about died last time I went to the store and it was $200. But I was out of everything since I had thrown everything out after evacuating for the last hurricane and then failed to replace it for quite some time depleting my supply of soup, etc.

How funny. I was just thinking about this thread yesterday when I was stuffing $175.00 worth of groceries in the front boot. My fave postings are a toss up between the IKEA overload and the keg. What a fun thread.

FYI, a 24" iMac (in it's box) will not fit in either trunks on a 986. Passenger got to wear it on his lap.

By luck, Coming back from California to Ohio, I found out a family cooler from Walmart fits perfectly in the Frunk. The ice actually lasted a whole day of driving in 90 degree weather.


Family cooler from walmart $15
12 pk of Killians (bottles) $17
The look on my buddies face when I pop my "Frunk" and hand him a cold one...

Priceless!!!

I just got back from a four day trip to the mountains. In the rear trunk: Full set of golf clubs and bag, several golf shoes, 2 bottles of wine and vodka and some hats and golf crapola. Not sure what else. In the front: luggage for two, two laptops and related computer crapola, painting supplies [tubes of paint, brushes, clean up stuff, canvases, palettes, etc.], four pair of shoes for who knows what occassion - more than was needed for four days. Behind the seats: two more clubs, jacket, purse, umbrella, hats. Plus GPS, road snacks and other travelmainia supplies. It was remarkable. Sorry no pics. I also got in some solo time on the roads. That was even more remarkable. What an excellent automobile. Stunning views, stunning performance.

My old surf mobile on Maui. Surprisingly alot of trunk space in these also. This was also my construction work vehicle with lots of tools in both trunks. My cooler fit nicely in the front trunk also.

And I didn't have to worry about scratching the delicate paintwork!
