    if a trailer hitch and a trailer, or a pickup are not in the picture, I'd at least be looking for a luggage rack to put on top that thing ; )

    Yank out the back seat and put a pull out setup... but if You need the car for kids.. then best just to use a luggage rack like bear stated.. they have enclosed one you can get really cheap form sears for about a hundred bucks with lock.. you sure can pack alot in them.

    wow just checked out the luggage rack thing, cost about $35 for the bar type, and about $85 for a basket type, definitely the least expensive option to increasing my hauling capacity lol

    There is someone who built a really big box out of plywood and 2x4s around here and fixed it to a luggage rack. It extends a couple feet out from the roof in the front and back.
