Default Yes, you can carry saw horses in a 911

I made a run to Harbor Freight yesterday and filled up the frunk with power tools. Bulky items went in the back with the seats down. Saw horses went in first (pictured below), because I didn't know if they would actually fit. LOL. Plenty of room! Yes, those little stoppers on the back seat backs are useful. It's a shame that they're going away for the 2021 model year.



For those with OCD and are easily triggered, after Harbor Freight, I also picked up Chick-Fil-A drive through. The 911 is best enjoyed as a car.

That is excellent! I actually love when “small” cars are shown to be more functional than people would typically think :-)

Unfortunately (or fortunately if you prefer), the little "stoppers" on the back seats were eliminated long before the MY21 builds began. My car was completed on Feb 28, is a 2020 MY and does not have the "stoppers"

Well done. My hardware shop is also next door to chick-fil-a. They are mutually dependant stops. No one without the other.

Kid’s stuff. I brought a dishwasher home in my 944 years ago.

Doing that in a recent 911 would be tricky, though, it might be possible with a 997 Targa, using the hatch.

I make Costco runs all the time in my 718 and I often get looks when I open the frunk to start loading an entire $400 worth of bulk Costco items whereas the guy next me will have a pickup truck or a Suburban. I feel like i'm playing Tetris putting everything in exact positions, but every single time I manage to fit my entire Costco load into that frunk (with the exception of maybe the bulk toilet paper or paper towels, which go into my passenger seat)! I pretty much never use the rear trunk in the 718 as it's so shallow, so i won't miss that and will look forward to having a rear seat to load stuff into shortly. I'm 2 months out now from delivery on my 992...can't wait!

One of my favorite things to do with the 718 is to take it to the grocery store, get the groceries and then wait for the person who gathers up that HUGE line of shopping carts (or buggy's down South) and is pushing that train of carts back inside the store. Then I start putting stuff in the rear trunk AND in the front truck as well. This has caused more than one of them to stop, stare and ask me WHY am I putting things in the engine bay?

I usually just tell them, with as straight of a face as possible, those are the items that I like to keep warm!
