Who says Boxsters don't have much room for items.
A 911 muffler fits just fine for delivery! Barely squeezed between dash and seat.

What I notice in that picture is that the top is down. Not in Seattle, :-)

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!

Not for me. I had a clear view of the side mirror and an unobstructed view of what was next to me. Unless there was a unicycle keeping pace with me.

Put them in the trunk and use a bungee to secure them. To do four tyres put one in the frunk and the other in the drivers seat. I have done this many times.

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:

As soon as I posted this I thought it would probably fit if I removed the spare wheel. Not too keen on the drivers seat idea, do you climb inside them to drive? Probably still look slimmer than this couple I saw in Disney last year, lol.

Oh yeah... Passenger seat (other things on my mind at the time I was typing). I place a towel over the PASSENGER SEATto protect it. I'm not driving too far to the tire shop, maybe two to three miles, so a tire in the PASSENGER SEAT is not a big deal.

I routinely carry my music rig to rehearsals in the Boxster: two guitar cases in the passenger seat (head ends in the footwell), pedalboard and backpack in the frunk, amp in the trunk. I don't even have to lower the top!

Ive had 4 new tires in the car taking them to be mounted. No problem at all.
2 front(215) tires in the passenger seat, 1 rear(255) tire in the frunk and 1 rear(255) tire in the Trunk, although I could not close the trunk, but I was only going 5 miles.
