Corvette Trunks
God I love these cars! I'm now convinced that I've never owned a car with as large a trunk as the C5. Yesterday I managed to cram two cornhole boxes in there, today I have several golf bags and room for a cooler. Someone was asking yesterday why they don't have backseats? I think I've discovered the best answer. Performance and room for the other guy essential....stuff!

Yup. They hold a lot! When we go to Carlisle we carry the following in the trunk:
One 10x10 pop up canopy
2 folding chairs
A large container filled with cleaning supplies
two duffles of clothing
a cooler
and a model and turntable in the little coopie hole in the center.
Everyone is surprised at how much these babies hold.

Sure more attractive than a luggage rack too.
Not knocking the older cars with racks, I had one on my 70 vette, many years ago and it worked well for me then. Just less worry about theft and weather with stuff INSIDE the C5.

Oddly enough after selling the C3 and not being interested in Corvettes, It was the C5 on a whole and particularly the TRUNK coming back to the car that perked my interest.

Amazing how they designed the car with storage space in mind. My C5 has more room for storage than any of our other cars which are both sedans.

Wife is suprisingly supportive of the corvette as the grocery vehicle
