What's the nuttiest thing you've ever fit into the trunk of your Marauder?

A bag of nuts, some coconuts, and a box of nuts.

There, I got you all beat. :lol:

Best,

Dan

 

[buckyboy]

not funny:down:

my personal best is 4 dead bodies, but if i cut them up i think i could do 5.

 

[Dan]

Oh boy. Here we go.

 

[duhtroll]

I thought we could fit at least 6 bodies in. That's according to DeNiro in that "Analyze This" movie.

Twelve if they are anorexic :banana:

Nuttiest was 2 bushels of small sized Quahogs, affectionately known around here as cherrystones.

We have a winner! The man from Hard Hittin' has the most nuts... (did that come out right?)

The 1037 lbs of lava rock is a close runner up... I mean a half-ton of anything in the trunk of a car is pretty nutty!

OK. Since the Marauder trunk has been selected, I'll tell about the "nuttiest" trunkload that I ever saw. Time was 1957. Trunk was on a 1953 Plymouth Cranbrook (you won't find this car listed in the muscle mags). My father and his friend went to pick up a 1/2 keg of beer. Along the way, they found or picked up a wheelbarrow. Since both would not fit in the trunk, here's how they solved the problem. The friend sat in the trunk and held the handles to the wheelbarrow. The 1/2 keg was in the wheelbarrow. Don't know how far they travelled like that ... but it sure made an impression (of how not to do something nutty) on a 7 year old.

For the curious...(Though this is a 51, not that it matters much to the model)

Here some shots of a '53 two-door Coupe. Ours was black. One just sold for $4,900. I think my father paid less than $1,500 brand new. It's nickname was the "Leapin' Leana" --- had 3 sets of shocks on it in the time we owned it.

Jimmy Hoffa is in my trunk(shh, mums the word) :rock:

What's the nuttiest thing you've ever fit into the trunk of your Marauder?

I've been pricing a Yakima bike rack for the roof of our BMW wagon, and I'm having a tough time pulling the $550 trigger. We bought a kiddie trailer to tote our 5 month old, and wanted to try it this weekend. The BMW is in the shop, and I haven't bought the rack yet anyhow, so I turned my eyes towards the Mercury.

I fit the kiddie trailer and 2 mountain bikes inside the trunk of the Maruader. Who needs a rack?

That's crazy... I think I'll skip the Yakima and put the $550 towards a moonroof for the Maruader... so what have you fit in the trunk of yours?

I don't have a funny trunk story, but I understand the trunk organizer. It doesn't seem to hold much. And when your car comes with it, the web is deleted, which actually is a very useful item.
