    yeah I took a whole tin shed home in the rice burner earlier this week. it doesn't count tho because I had to set the roof ontop of my car, which is cheating, so the stove story doesn't count.

    Made me cringe a bit seeing that pix of you and the water heater. I guess if you have decent accident you probably go quick but I don't think there would be an open casket funeral You got a bigger pair than me!

    That's how it was when I took my first load of computer carcasses into the yard. I had close to 20 in my Taurus and that's what they joked about, the clown Taurus. No seats out either.

    i personally would not haul a water heater that way! its dangerous if something would happen or you get in a accident.
    if your going to haul that big stuff like that you should look into buying a truck at least. just don't want to see something happen to you that could be prevented from happening.

    the truck is for 1000 + pound hauls...the rice burner is for < 1000. otherwise the profit margin of peddling metal curbside drops significantly.

    I fit one in a Prius once:


    And in a CRV:


    Some other stuff I've fit in a CRV:





    I now use the truck in my profile pic to haul stuff. It's so much easier!

    -------------------------------------------------

    As for using the Civic for small runs, I see nothing wrong with it. I'd probably get a small trailer, though. There was one made out of a Pop-Up camper that was at the local Restore for $60. I wish I got it, but my Chevrolet pickup bed trailer is much sturdier.

    Either that, or a roof rack setup would work well. More space is always better.
