Craziest thing in your trunk?
What's the biggest/craziest thing you guys and girls have ever transported in the trunk of your Z? I've lugged home a 16' ladder and a 14" weedwacker from the hardware store. You should've seen the stares in the parking lot and driving home, lol. I also managed to squeeze $300 bucks of groceries in the trunk. Any interesting stories from you guys? I need to kill some time til my wife gets home and I can light off some fireworks.

I am against carrying anything so big that it can't fit inside the trunk or would scratch up the car's exterior/interior. Why would I do that to my pride and joy....I'll take another bigger car for that. Pretty tacky to me to carry something so big that it's sticking out, especially on a performance minded car like the Z. So sorry, no interesting stories here from me. I could carry a lot more bigger stuff in my old 98 coupe...like full length headers and exhaust parts, but stopped doing that after accidentally scratching the paint a few times.

See I'm 21 and making payments on my Z. I'm also an e-3 in the AF so not much for income (but I do have my house and I'm married so the car completes all my wants and needs). My other car is a 1990 vette. Even less room in there for a ladder. I just tied it down with towels underneath and got home without one single scratch in the paint. I was very meticulous about how I tied down the ladder and gaurded my paint. Just a little caution and the Z can be very versatile a car.

First and foremost, thanks for serving our country
. My younger bro had 10 yrs in, last stationed at Dyess. I haven't done it yet, but I want to put 3 car seats and 3 of my kids in there to freak out the neighbors. I have however, done service calls(electrical) with my vette, just hand tools

Hmm my 01 z is my daily driver so day to day I have a couple boxes of Callaway *****, my set of clubs, my car cover, and 2 pair of golf shoes in my trunk, plus a custom made 12" enclosure and sub in the center compartment. I usually put $100 to $175 in groceries in her pretty regularly (gotta take the sticks out first). The other night the 35 pack of waters were on sale so I managed to fit 5 of those in the trunk/passenger seat.
I also managed to get to the tire/alignment shop with 2 295/35/18's and 2 265/40/17's that were brand new .. had to pull the partition out and do some creative packing for that one

2 full 65 lb duffel bags(in the trunk), 1 full pilots kit bag(behind the seats) and a rucksack in the Pas. seat! All of that was WITH a partition!
I have carried a bunch of stuff and the only scratch I have ever had was on the Tigershark rear wing...from a grocery bag!!

I dont know if it was crazy but it almost drove me crazy..I had a partially filled bottle of motor oil..that was in the little side compartment wrapped in rag..well I forgot it was back there and it started to drip out...went through the carpet..and onto the muffler..and led me to think I had some kind of rear end leak..
I looked under that car..everywhere trying to figure out where the oil was coming from....thought I might have a serious problem...then I opened the trunk and discovered the forgotten bottle of MO...
