Default Surprised by size inside.

Last night I bought myself a second hand rowing machine from craigslist (part of my new years resolution).
I went to pick it up assuming it would fold up or come apart pretty easily.

Well it didn't (its a scwhinn windrigger - built like a tank and 82 inches long!). The seller was like.. theres no way that'll fit in your little car..

heh, couple of minutes and folded front and rear seats later and he's like.. wow.. theres loads of room in this... what is it again..

Yay for folding front seats

I was able to easily fit my 52" LCD TV in the back without taking it out of the box. Also, in one trip we bought 4 chairs, a buffet bar, and a new dinner table from Ikea and got it home with 3 people in the car!

Are you kidding me???? (sarcasm, not _______ remark)

The box for my 50" Plasma was way way too tall to fit in the back of my xB. Had to use my dad's truck.

I fit a 70 gallon aquarium and the stand that went with it.

Another time I fit a standard size push mower (with the handle folded down) in the cargo area without folding the rear seats down.

Heheh niiiice, I fit a huge 95 gallon aquarium tank, 48x24x25:
http://elmersaquarium.com/h109_95wave.htm

Unfortuantely, I overestimated the trunk space, and the stand wouldn't fit (I bought it used on Craigslist and it was already constructed) due to the strange wavy front structure. Luckily the stand came apart really easily with a screwdriver and got it in. I swear if it was a rectangular stand it DEFINITELY would have fit. I love me my xB hatchback + rear folding seats combo.
