so you CAN haul siding in a hatch! whats the biggest thing you've hauled in a car?
That’s right, contrary to belief (friends, family, and Lowes employees), a civic CAN indeed haul three boxes of 12 foot siding!
After driving to 3 different lowes, and 2 home depots, I finally found one about 30 miles away that had it in stock, cept the cost for renting a truck was $25 per hour and a half. The problem was that it was rush hour (yay atlanta) and I was already sick of driving around, so I didn’t want to have to haul this all down in a rental truck, pay $40+ for the 2+ hours it would take in total, and then have to drive BACK home! So I figured, hey, I’ve got a hatch back, it might fit...
So, in spite of people saying it wouldn’t work, including the loading guys at lowes saying "this is a first" (referencing someone trying to haul this in a civic), I decided to give it a try. An hour+ at 30mph later, I arrived at home and only had the siding fall over on me once (pinning my arm requiring me to pull over to get it off so I could shift, haha). So all of ya’ll who have civic hatchbacks and are wondering if you can haul siding, well rest assured that it CAN be done!
what's the biggest/strangest thing ya'll have tried to haul in your car??
