Shopping with my smart

I love these people who say the smart is small and you can't carry anything. I take all sorts if stuff with me. Bookshelves, golf clubs, 10x10 canopies, etc. I recently moved 4 servers, 3 monitors and a printer in one load.

So, what can you fit? Here's todays warehouse superstore run....


And I could have put more in (I left the top down).

Um.....I guess that's great. I'm just concerned as to what you're going to do with SO MUCH Monster, Wine and Perrier, not to mention the BLEACH?

OR is it all for the dog.......

I regularly will stuff about 1.5-2 weeks worth of groceries in the back of my coupe.

When I moved - my smart was a week old, so I didn't really want to use it. I had my Mac G4 tower in its box, my 15" LCD in box, a HP laserjet 6L, 17" iMac (in box), 3 piece speaker set with a huge subwoofer (it has 2 8" subs in it), 2 laptops, 4 external hard drives - plus other crap. It was literally in the middle of a hurricane, and I wanted my computer stuffs to be safer than my leaky U-Haul, the VUE was stuffed to the gills - as was my friend's Sunfire.

I drove from Baltimore to DC in an ice storm with an IKEA Poang Armchair, Poang footstool, cushions, a lamp, and some other stuffs all still packed up... that was hilarious - the cushions were so wide I was pinned against the driver's door when I closed it.

At the auction today I bought a Mig welder, a bottle of argon and all of it attached to a ready assembled cart. We previewed the items earlier and returned to the auction with the intentions of not walking away empty handed. Choose to drive a smart versus take the truck to haul it......put it on my micro trailer. Had a picture on my phone but it wouldn't transfer.

Jeez I like Monster too but good lord man! That's like 20 bucks a case right?

Yeah my smart always surprises me when it comes to capacity. A while ago I bought a 24" monitor, and it fit with a lot of room to spare.

That's a lot of Monster. Hey, Bill... if you like Monster that much, I definitely need to get you to try the Rev3 energy drink that I sell. Looks like you've got a year's supply already, though.
