Try a 10' length of downspout. One end in the passenger footwell and bungee'd to the rollbar.
It nearly looked like a flagpole sticking up out of the interior.
The Cayman pilot thought it was hilarious. Yes, lots of people were pointing and laughing on that trip.

Did you know our PCars can handle 4-50lb. bags of dog food?

I crunched one bag in the Pizza Oven in back. Stuffed 2 bags in the frunk (with a spare tire) and one on floor/passenger seat. Still could have fit another one too. That is more than a Honda or Mercedes.

So….now I take the Porsche or Pickup truck to pick up dog food!

….OR at least I used to! My car has been in the air waiting for me to find time to do the IMS….I going through PCar withdraws! Driving a truck sucks!

I was driving by a yard sale, and saw a bulletin board that was requested by one of the kids. Stopped to buy it. Didn't have a stinking dollar. Not one. Had to tell them to hold it. I drove about 2 miles to an ATM. Got the stupid dollar. Drove back in my fancy Porsche, (the people are obviously thinking every penny has gone into my car, since I had to go to an ATM for a single dollar) paid for bulletin board. Everyone is watching as it quickly becomes apparent there is no way this thing will fit in my car. I get in, lower the roof (the audience is enjoying this) and try again. I can kinda get it wedged at an angle in the passenger seat. The right view is completely obscured. I pretend I have a patch over that eye and drive accordingly.

Fast forward several months. Godforsaken bulletin board is still in garage, and the kid hasn't touched it.

:ah:
