    Exclamation Getting your XMas tree home...

    I don't know about you fellas, but this is how I would not do it.




    I couldn't decide whether this went in OTM Chat being that it's an Elise or Bull 'cause doing that to that car is bull****.

    I worked at a tree lot and put a 10 ft. tree the front seat of a red M1. She showed up with the top down and left with a miata for the base of her tree.

    True story - a couple of years ago, Mel and I were in Lowe's on a very cold December afternoon. As we were leaving, we saw an older gentleman securing an 8 ft. tree into the passenger seat of his Porsche Boxster. It was below freezing, and he did not look happy. I can just picture the conversation:

    Boxster guy: "But honey, there's no way I can get a Christmas tree home in the car."

    Boxster guy's wife: "You wanted that damn car, and you told me how it was just as practical as a family car. Prove it.

    lol I like it too! Looks like he has plenty of blanket protection!

    I've done similar...picked friend up at airport and failed to ask what luggage he had before I left. Turns out he brought a huge plastic/rubber military crate from work since they destroyed his regular suitcase! Luckily I keep a towel and nylon rope in the car so we tied it to the style bar!

    If I wanted that evergreen smell instead of new car smell I would have gone to the auto supply and got the little green tree to hang from the mirror.
