Dude, i could fit 6 wheels, a tent, and photo equipment no problem in a hatch. This thing would be perfect for a caged coupe with dual non-reclinable bucket seats.

with the hatch closing? in addition to a tool box, jack stands, jacks, spare suspension parts?

yeah, i think i could do it. AHAHAHA I have a coupe so things are a little more difficult. I have my packing methods down to a science when it comes to getting my ass to the track and back. The trick to patching a hatch is putting 4 wheels in the back seat. You gotta roll them in from the back and rest them on your seats. Then put one wheel in the spare tire area and another wherever. That gives you plenty of room for all your other stuff.

One time we packed four 17" rims and six tires in the back of my friends hatch. That was without tools and a tent though, but still impressive.

i had 4 17s behind the seats with the seats all the way forward, those were cargo strapped to the cage so they wouldnt kill me. I had two 16s flat against those..but what killed me was the tent.

basically, i want to be comfy ont he way to the track, not feel like a sardine in a can

emergency flashing lamp

no no i was being serious, im just curious if it looks reasonable, or if it looks like crazy s10 mini truck moving 3 houses worth of furniture

i was thinking like if you were able to stack 4 on one level, then 2 on the top, like a pyramid, it would be less scary looking than stacked like you have in that one pic, times 3
