Default So.... How many cases of beer can I fit in my xB???

I'm getting married next weekend, and since i'm a beer snob, all of the beer is being bought from a local brewery (Victory), and i'll be delivering it to the reception site myself the night before....

Same with the wine (Chaddsford)

So... Right now, we're looking at 18 cases of beer, and 12 cases of wine...

Think I can fit it all in the toaster? One trip?

I can't wait!

I <3 Victory beer.


I don't think space will be the issue, more of weight.

So 2 trips.

this is what car and driver did

That's it. And the car's simple box outline does the rest, allowing 34 beer cases to travel inside,

hmmm... That might be cutting it close. I'm guessing they didn't drive it after loading it with 34 cases of beer?

Dammit. Now I gotta start doing math. Anyone know the weight of a case of beer? Or the weight of a coconut?

But only African Swallows. Smaller swallows dont have the air/speed velocity to carry beer.
