Things like this is more what I expected, but you guys have me rolling here with some of your ideas

I am still laughing about what whodeanie posted above.

I dissagree. The most important use is carrying the full size SPARE! I think I'm the only person I know who does that. Maybe it's because I daily take it 130 miles....
I took out the front spare and have a craftsman tool kit in it's place. The hold down for the spare keeps the kit in place perfectly

ive thought of making a fiberglass insert for those all day carshows. load it with brewskies. still thinking of the draining idea. i like that idea of rino lining it and putting a drain at the bottom. i really like that idea....

What's the point of subwoofers in the trunk other than rattling the bolts off your car? You're not gonna hear it unless you have your decklid open or the volume up insanely loud.....

Actually mine doesn't rattle at all. It's good for parties and car shows. I didn't want the bass as i drove. Putting them in the trunk gives me the bass I want to hear when I am detailing cars or working on cars. Plus it sounds and looks good with neon sub rings around them that go with the beat. Most people i know have trouble with them. As long as you put a solid box in the trunk there is no rattling. I unfortunately now want bass inside so I have a shallow mount to put in the console. But the ones in the trunk are there for the fun of just hanging out with friends or hanging at work during break. I love them. Its a great setup.

GM should have just put the engine back there, and left the front for a (rather large) trunk..

2nd fuel tank for biodiesel? Plenty of groceries. Hotbox for a couple of "little people". Full picnic setup including two chairs, maybe even a tiny table. And maybe a dead body, some assembly required.

If the sheet metal between the trunk and engine is not structural, why not cut it out?

I was expecting to see at least one picture of a full set of fiero luggage in the trunk. I guess no one who has them actually uses them for their intended purpose?

I've never seen pictures of it, other than the press shots. Never pics of it in the car. Anybody got any?

Duffel bag with clothes for several days + folding chairs + laptop + spare car parts and tools in a small tote + umbrella + 2 bottles of coolant + small spare gas can is what mine held when i went to the 25th.. It always has a tote of parts/tools, coolant and the umbrella.

Holds a rifle and your range bag with tons of room to spare when heading to the range, when you have a passenger.
