Default When is a car more than just a car?

When it's an xD, of course!

Proof of it's hauling capabilities, DH and I just picked up our entertainment console last night. It's similar to this:


That thing is 54" long, peeps! We had to scoot our seats up a tad, but yes it fit in and the hatch shut. No, we didn't get the TV! Just the furniture.

I use my D to haul stuff all the time, mainly my Dyson vacuum over to my parents (they can't quite commit to buying their own ;) ) and the laundry every week--one to three loads. Groceries are very minimal as DH and I don't seem to eat much, ha ha.

DH got a new mountain bike for Christmas. How do you think we got it home? The D, of course! It fit easily, actually.

What all have you been hauling, or are you too busy upgrading the wheels and audio?

I've had a 5' expandable ladder in my xD before. It fit muuuuch better than it would had I tried it in my old car!

I put a 6' noble fir in mine a few weeks ago. Nothing like driving a Christmas tree home to put a smile on your face!

Last week I loaded up 16 cases of wine, 3 cases of tequila 8 cases of coffee and 4 cases of water.

Still managed to average over 37mpg on that tank too.

My friend calls it the clown car. You know that tiny one at the circus that somehow fits 20 clowns. Call it what you will. I love it.
