At which point he said, "What are you guys talking about "lowering" your car? Mine looks fine!"

Thanks for all the advice. Looks like i'll have to use the wife's car to get to hockey. I'm looking for coupe. Next decision will be a 996 or a 997.

Oh, which car seats would fit in the back for the 2 yr old?

The 996 also has some nice little hidden roof rack clips that flip up, but I'm not really aware of what racks fit.

I stashed several Christmas gifts in my trunk, nobody would ever look there, ha.

I use some kind of Britta carseat, the narrow ones fit better.

Recently had 2 pair of skis, ski bag, boot bag, and overnight bag and didn't even use the front trunk. I only moved the passenger seat back all the way in the reclining position and had lots of room.

i have recaro vivo's in the backseat. they are good for toddlers who are big enough to sit facing forwards 30lbs and up. tight fit, but works and even when kids are old enough to buckle, you probably have to help them given the fit.

how big is your hockey gear? goalie? should fit. mine does.

I was pretty proud of the tetris-job I pulled with my cab last summer: I was able to fit the wife, canopy, tent, 2 camping chairs, cooler, ground rolls & sleeping bags in cab last summer.The pic is from Osh Kosh for all you fellow pilots & aviation enthusiasts.

I have some park fliers, and they fit in the passenger seat just fine.

I let my kids start sitting in the back at 3 with a booster seat.

4 track wheels, jack, tools, clothes.

If I took the passenger seat out, I can also fit a 'ezup' canopy all in the 996.

I can place my golf bag, push cart in the back, it has plenty of room for those two items, but I do lay out a blanket across the back to protect the leather behind the seats.

When I boutght my 996, I had made sure it will fit my golf bag and clubs. No problem in the back seat. I once witness a guy put a pair of 225/40/18 and a pair of 285/30/18 tires in a 996 targa.

We used to joke and say "two adults and two shopping bags." It's actually much better than that. Go check them out before you jump. Bring your hockey bag and clubs.

4 adults + driver. Don't ask me how. I felt like it was a clown car.

I didn't even have enough 'foot room' to depress the clutch.

A 32 inch flat screen TV - in the box, and luggage for two for a week. The wife and I drove from So. Cal to UC Davis near Scaramento to drop off the TV, no issues with visibility etc.

3. Car seat for a toddler in the rear?

Any Ideas?
All of the above will fit. In fact you could probably fit everything on your list all together at one time,
