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?

Ugh.

C'mon... we always talk about what's under the hood... with automatic load-leveling God only knows what all is under the trunk lid... what's fit under yours?

My trunk is as clean as the day I bought it. The trunk organizer keeps the tool kit and miscellaneous items out of view. I don't use the Marauder for hauling stuff .... I have the E-150 van for that. And, it has been a long time since I had to carry baby strollers, playpens, diaper bags, and Toys-R-Us in the trunk of the car.
 
I just had an Apple (computer), two bags of guava, three jackets, two chairs (folding type), a box of Sunshine State Marauder hats and shirts, and my mini road side kit.

I almost agree. I keep different cleaning products in mine, and my car cover rolled up.

The car cover - when wet - tends to get the interior wet, and in the spring I found quite a bit of water under the trunk organizer. It caused some mildew, and could be smelt inside the car. Took some work to get out, but that's basically all that's been in my trunk since I bought it.

My CV however, which has the same size trunk, had a 6hp gas lawnmower in it for a short time (folded up). Plus it always has all my winter emergency equipment - 2 ton hydraulic jack, spare tools, spare fluids, first aid kit, blanket and non perishable food . . .
 
Sousaphone and 4 trombones with room for about 15 flutes or clarinets.

OR

2 entire sets of exhaust including mufflers - one of them stock and the other a DR exhaust. Got to drive it completely open from the manifolds on my trip to the muffler shop.

My spare stayed in that day, too.

Well bear in mind my marauder is my only car. I have had Lava sand and rock,
fertilizer, mulch, texas green sand all told about 1037 pounds. And then went to a car show, did not "display" the trunk load levels right up.

Not that its nutty, but I have a set of golf clubs, two golf bags, assorted clothing that has been worn (socks, vests, skivvies) and an old pair of golf shoes that I've worn while walking the course in the rain. I thought about stuffing my mother in law in there, but I didn't want the trunk to smell bad.
