A body, a shovel, and a bag of limedust and boy that guy was BIG!

Seriously though, for a recent trip I managed to organize the packing in the boot to where I was able to fit two Military duffel bags, a large rucksack, small day pack, my laptop bag and two .50 cal ammo cans full of paperwork all stuffed to the rim and NO I'm not a doomsday prepper.

The Coupe can actually hold more than enough for two people on a trip/vacation. I was surprised.

Golf clubs. I use a Sun Mountain bag that is nice and light. Can't fit one of those tour/cart bags.

80 lbs Golden Retriever. Same size as her crate/kennel.

Our weekly Costco run given we are stocking up on toilet paper that week ;-)

There hasn't been anything yet that I had in the Hardtop that I couldn't get into the Coupe.

I used to put 4 snow tires in the back of my hardtop, but I can't do that with the Coupe...

Driver and Hybrid/Wood fit without using the middle trap door?

Can you leave your long clubs in the bag or do you have to remove the driver and 3 wood? Can you get two carry bags in there?

That is with all clubs in the bag. Of course the bag only goes in diagonally. Never tried a second bag, by since you would have to criss-cross them it might not work. I try to snag a picture tonight for you.

Thanks Taz. What's that box in the opposite corner to the bag bottom with a cap on it? That would prevent a criss cross bag configuration. You might be able to set another one on top in the same direction taking some long clubs out. I really would want to be able to get 2 bags in there once in awhile. But it's way better than my friends Porsche Boxster. He says "you have to choose between the guitar, the dog, or the girl."

Ah yes that would be my water-methanol tank for the Aquamist system

Girl, guitar, or dog... I bet you get a different answer if you ask a single 25 year old vs a married 45 year old

The Aquamist system injects a blend of water and methanol into the intake. The blend provides intake cooling, an octane boost, and knock prevention during combustion. It also provides a steam cleaning to the valves and intake, so it helps prevent the dreaded carbon build up. It can also be tuned for decent power gains.

The carbon build up issue has me concerned enough that installed this warranty be damned. Saw a post this week of someone having carbon issues at only 22,000 miles!
