You can fit a TRON machine completely into a Lexus RX-350 and close the hatch and drive around.

I've got a picture of a candy cab in the Fit, too, but that's less impressive

Show us a pic of how far out the back end that Battlezone is hanging. Also of how far off the ground the tailpipe must be...

The top:

The bottom:

Had I brought tools with me, I could have taken the step off, and it would have fit completely inside with the hatch closed. Lessons learned.

Somehow I got rooked into delivering a pinball machine to a guy 200 miles away. I'm gonna try to cram it into the Scion xD. The Honda Fit pictures give me hope.

Should be able to do that, no prob.

You can move a Pin*Bot in an early model Scion. Course legs off, backbox unbolted...

That's in there further than I thought. Battlezone is one heavy mofo, too, so if you can move one of those you can move most vids.

Can you get MDF in there?

4'X8' sheet? No. Cut in half first, yes.

OK guys, let's see your wacky photos. I've seen a few of Nuno's projects crammed in and it always surprises me.

I don't take photos....its best to leave all the incriminating evidence behind. I did once have to travel at on a highway with a full size vintage rialto organ on top of my sedan. Nobody would travel within 100 yards of me.

I wish I had a picture - I had a DK in a Rav4 with the hatch closed!

Aww darn, that beats my Galaxian in a Honda Fit story... but mine couldn't fit in the front seat like yours. It hung out the back something fierce!

You can hang a Apaceman out the back of a 77 two door olds delta and drive it from kalamazoo to Plymouth mi. Two hours. And dismantle another cab and put it in the backseat.
I also stuffed something into a Chevy hhr and a old aerostar with the rear hatch closed.

I so wish I took pictures of my Lincoln last year. I have a 1997 Lincoln Mark VIII that is a lowish 2 door sport coupe with a big engine. I boght 3 3 wheelers last year about 1 hour from my house. When I say 3 wheelers, I'm talking about the early '80s gas powered trikes, the ones that were considered unsafe by 60 Minutes. And a bunch of parts too including a few sets of 3 wheeler tires.

So I hooked up my small 4x8 trailer to my lincoln and drove an hour to pick the up. I had to stand all 3 of the trikes up and one of them was with the rear axle in the air because it was too wide to fit inside the trailer sides. The whole contraption of tiedowns and trikes and trailer looked so freaking scarey. I just drove home willy nilly and pretended that I didn't have anything on the back of my car. i didn't want to worry the whole drive home. But I got a LOT of stares and pointing. The trailer with trikes was a good 4 - 6 feet taller than the Lincoln's roofline.

Alright, I moved a sperm whale in a Yugo once.

Pics or it didn't happen.

Maybe not IN, but you can fit a Defender cab ON a Daewoo Matiz
