      If no one from the future stops you from doing it, how bad of a decision can it really be?

            Remove those hooks for the rear seat and a 55 gallon drum will just fit sideways. That's "industrial" grade right there.
            OX SMASH!!

              I once went to pick up a used stove with my Festiva. The guy selling the stove was laughing at us until we loaded it in back and shut the hatch... I think he felt like a jackass after... lol, priceless

                The old lady that I got (rescued) my Festiva from used it to haul (and store) firewood. She told me that half a cord will fit in it. From the way it looked when I got it, she knows what she's talking about.

                  I really like those invisible rear seats.
                  If it has boobs or wheels, sooner or later you're going to have trouble with it.

                    You didnt even put the latter on the roof rack? That was your chance to test it out!

                      Ha, when I first got the Batstiva, I used to haul mulch in it. Had a place where I could take all I wanted. Just had to bag it, and throw it in the Fester. So, everyday after work, I'd stop and bag up 4 or 5 bags, toss 'em in the back, and head up the road.

                      Dumb thieves go to prison, smart ones go to work for the Government.

                      1989 L - 247K miles Slick
                      1990 L - 281K miles Orphan Annie

                        Yeah when I had my festiva I had this idea of a mobile mechanic and I was going to use my festiva. I had a plan to have the tool boxes on rails so they could be extended out of the back of the festiva. I figured people break down so instead of having to take it to a shop I could just come to them and fix it. Or that you may not have time to do regular maint on a car so I could come to your work and take care of it. But than I realized that most businesses wouldn't like it if I was changing oil in their parking lot.

                          Been there done that in Bruce. I could take a work table and 3 boxs as well as a 2 ton picker (broken down of course) all the way to Leavenworth and back 3 times a week. Never broke 65 with that load but saved a ton on gas.

                            " industrial grade " I like it.

                            There was still room in the car, it could have held some more. I know, Ive done it before. Just got to pack it right.

                              Hahaha well I was going to put the bp engine in it with new suspension and aspire brakes. I even had a name picked out I think it was monkey wrench mobile mechanic or something like that. I was going to get the car painted and have the euro body kit on it.
