Default xA = Too Small? (Pix! 56k=Maybe no?)

I'll just let the images speak for themselves...










My dad and I had fun pulling this off, even though he was crunched in the passenger seat! haha

Wow. The suspension doesn't even look all that compressed. I'll bet i could fit one more of those boxes in my xB though.

Look at what you are putting in it. It's a small car, yes, but come on. Get a truck or something. I can fit a 4 piece drum set in mine.

I used to have a truck, but was basically just carrying around a bunch of air. Now I can still carry a good amount of stuff. But now I can carry people too.

When I go to tailgates, my friends laugh because the back is so full. Definitely not wasting space anymore.

I don't fully understand what you're trying to say... 4 piece drum set in, your truck or xA?

Why should I get a truck when I can easily fit those boxes? I've also moved a 4x12 amp cabinet + head + guitar and I've also moved a decent sized desk (fully built to boot)...

You see that big green monster in the street? That's my dads "Green Machine", any big hauls, that baby'll do it. Although I was driving him to breakfast and he decided to get it [the tool chest] afterwards and why bother driving home to get the other car when mine can do the job?

Oh, sorry. I thought you were _____ing about the space. I did put a four piece set in my xa though. I hear what you're saying. Peace.

That is awesome... I did the very same thing at Sears when I got the tool box. I see you got the set of three offered by the CraftmanClub offer.
The guy could not believe everything fit inside my xA

Nice pics

i don't know about TOO small. those are some pretty big boxes for any car! and considering the overall length/parking versatility, the xA is pretty spacious inside!
