Cargo cult / cruisin' Costco

Routinely used standard sized coolers for transport in the last three years in my 981B 'frunk'.
Park away from the hordes, walk a little way.
No problems.
Ice or ice packs keep things cool.
Got new UW Red cooler for Father's Day, slotted right into the 981B.
Tried to use it in the 991.2 and surprise, the 'frunk' is smaller and it just won't fit.
Used old cooler!
These frunk's are great!
The 991.2 can't hold as much as our XC70's but if using the seat areas and foot well as storage, the car can hold a lot!-Richard

There are so many ways to use and enjoy these great cars. Sexy grocery getter to weekend fun car to garage queen & everything in between...T

Me too. More than a few times I've overheard others in the grocery store parking lot mutter something along the lines of 'what the hell is he doing?' when I push my cart up to the front of the car and open the hood. Two have approached me and asked where the engine is.

I routinely make CostCo runs and fully load up the frunk. Curious if you guys feel that the steering somehow has a nicer weight to it when the frunk is loaded? I'm obviously not flogging it to preserve the beer/wine bottles and other precious cargo so we're talking about around town speeds. I have a C2S and don't have power steering plus.

I haven't had any problems with roasting things in the trunk, but I haven't done a run yet when it's 90deg out.
That's actually Schmitt Söhne... you know a riesling is good when it has a screwtop and picture of a stereotypical German gent holding up a sign that says "Pick Me!! Pick Me!!" on the label. (actually it's not bad)

I get groceries with it on a daily basis though without issue.
