I dunno where you're stopping, but I stopped at the grocery store.

Pro tip: Remove the wiper motor and you can fit more groceries.

Unfortunately I don't have the P9201 to set the wiper plug tension.

Its crazy what you can fit into the hatch of a lot of sports cars. I don't have a picture of any of my 944's stuffed with groceries, but over the summer, my wife and I dropped the kids off with her parents and we took my Corvette out for the day. Low and behold, and looking back on it, it should not have been a shock that we would end up going shopping. She kept throwing stuff in the cart and I was skeptical that all the stuff she was putting in the cart would fit under the hatch in the Vette. Luckily it did. Was like a jigsaw puzzle of sorts to get it all to fit and have the hatch close properly.

That's how I make sure I get home when my car breaks down. Always keep a bike in the back.

You can fit 2 mountain bikes back there.
Also you can fit a 944 shortblock, even with head studs in there. Just barely.

i would put my mountain bike in there perpendicular to the length of the car. it was a small-frame with 26" wheels though, front wheel had to come off to fit.

Hint of lime Tostitos are the best!
