New Cooler

I was at Dicks Sporting Goods today a came across a new color selection of USA made Igloo coolers. Had to have this red and black one, a great match for my red C8. Fits firmly and squarely on the floor of the frunk. Thought it was perfect.

Bought this one yesterday - a soft sider - fits nicely in the frunk.

I put it in the trunk and was able to close it but the horn honked afterward?

From Sam's club - available in multiple colors (didn't see Red Mist or Torch Red

)

Igloo Arrrow Tote 30-Can Cooler (soft side)

Better for me than a hard plastic box (cooler)

I think the trunk is the last place I'd put a Cooler in a C8 -- too hot in there. You need a Cooler that will fit in the Frunk.

As a fellow torch red owner, I have to say I like this find. I am always partial to hard coolers as they double as a seat in a pinch.

Yes, the soft side Igloo cooler fits in the frunk. I'd put it in the trunk only if I needed to use it to insulate contents from the heat - not necessarily beverages.
