    And she did a pretty good job too!

    A little bit of nylon chord had the branches tied up and manageable so that I could drive the 5 blocks or so to my home.

    That's nuthin'. I had an entire door from a Civic strapped in the passenger seat of my MIatruck last summer--went junkyarding for small stuff, found a perfect door, couldn't pass it up. . .and I drove 30 miles that way!

    there's a guy in my neighbor hood that I watched load up his turbo miata with about a dozen 2x4's

    I moved an entire bed with my fiat spider. Once the top is down on a convertable, the sky is literally the limit.. and low bridges

    You aren't really driving a utility Miata until you take out the passenger seat. You'd be surprised at the large items that will fit in an empty passenger hole.

    How about 4 wheels with tires mounted?

    The guy at the end of our street carried his lawnmower in his TR-6.

    I usually strap two to the roll bar like a trophy truck.

    One set of wheels and tires, another two sets of wheels + all my tools + a full set of replacement brake hardware + my clothes and computer + clothes for a woman for three months = fit in the back of my 89 si.

    10 miles, got it on myself, took it off myself. Rollbar made it easier.

    I can beat all of you. Multiple pieces of luggage, full set of tires and a passenger in the backseat (back seat up mind you) in a Metro..

    Rollbar makes all the difference in the world in moving big things with a convertable

    I saw a 300ZX with a tree sticking out of the sunroof yesterday.

    I wish I'd gotten a pic of when I had a big floor lamp in the "driver's seat" (i.e. RHD passenger seat) of the Lotus. I got some funny looks driving around like that.
