Thanks to the Fit_Is_Slo for selling me a lawn mower for considerably less than it was really worth, and for burning a Sunday afternoon to actually deliver it. (SWMBO at work means no truck. Ever try to get something bigger than a box of spares into the back of a VW Corrado?)

Thanks again, bro. You rock.

Yep, Fit_Is_Slo is a good dude.

Also, I have had plenty of experience packing a Corrado to extreme fullness, one such time going down to Sebring.

Anti-stance.... you also seem to have the ability to sleep in said fully packed Corrado without too much trouble.

I'm not a big fan of "exotics"..but every time I hear someone say, "..you could buy a HOUSE for that kind of money!!!", I just remind them that you can't take a house to work..but you can always sleep in the car.

I have slept curled up in the front seats of my VW, knees wedged under the steering wheel, handbrake shoved up between my ribs and my pelvis. Only way I could get comfortable, the seat won't recline when the thing is stuffed full of crap

Being 6'5", I had to get creative sleeping in a packed Corrado. Basically I put my legs on the passenger side with my feet on the floorboard and reclined the drivers seat as far back as possible. Then selective place the sleeping bag on the uncomfortable parts.

I've tried to sleep in a Miata...it didn't work out too well.
