    Festiva as truck

    Why would anybody need a truck?

    I regularly haul the following with my Anchorage Festiva: 4x8 sheets of 3/4" plywood and drywall (on top), 12-foot 2x4s thru 2x12s (inside with one end where the passenger's feet go and the other out the open hatch).

    I've also hauled the following: full-size picnic table (on top), 2' by 10' long wing flaps from a large twin-engine WWII airplane (from Boise to Seattle), about 800 pounds of airplane parts from Las Vegas to Seattle.

    Last summer, I hauled a 2"x4"x20-foot steel beam across Anchorage, which left somewhat of a "lasting impression" in my roof. Turns had to be made very gently, because the inertia of the beam made it want to stay straight while the car rotated underneath it.

      Good question.

      You can stuff just about anything in a Festiva, and they're lower that a truck so it's easier to load.

      When Hurricane Rita was aiming for Houston, I put about 15 sheets of plywood in the back. Couldn't close the hatch but it did the job extremely well.
