Junk in the Trunk

I honestly can't remember a time when my car/SUV/truck wasn't full of stuff.

Back in high school, i kept a collection of instruments in my truck for helping with beginning orchestra at the elementary and middle schools, often buried under the tower of Mtn. Dew bottles in the back seat. When I got the SUV early in college, that became my new storage unit and trash bin. I knew I could move an entire jazz band's worth of people and instruments in my little Dodge Dakota, but the SUV could hold 13 people at 3AM going out for food without unpacking the back end...

I feel like I was kinda stupid back then, but then I realize that was only a couple of years ago.

I've been trying to keep the back seats/interior clean on this little 900 so she always looks half way decent. Unfortunately, that means the trunk is always packed, but the things I can fit in there are amazing! I wish I had a picture to prove it right now, but a couple of months ago I was playing in several ensembles at once, and had stored in the trunk:

A bass guitar, in oversived case
An Alto sax
A clarinet
A flute
A bassoon
A bass amplifier
Assorted spare parts for Ulla.

Now that I'm not playing in everything, you'd think the trunk would be empty, but no. Now, It's full of more spare parts, and just extra crap I don't bother to move.

I love the storage in this car.
