I've spent weeks in Europe in a 911 and never ran out of storage space. What's this clown taking with him?

the 911 has always been known for the huge amount of space inside (for a sports/GT car)

that has to be his wife's luggage

Why would you bring a wife on a road trip?

The road trip snacks don’t open themselves

I like the Drivers Style. I travel light as hell. I’ll do laundry if I have to.

Maybe the cargo box is for the dead deer?

Come on, guys...this is someone who needs to carry a lot of schit but insists on driving a 911. I like him or her. And that whole operation comes off in a jiffy once you reach your destination.

Agreed. I was saying camping gear as a positive..

I'm guessing it's empty and just for appearance. Much like the people who ride around all year with kayaks strapped to the roof.

They (wife) are great on a two week trip in a 911. It is always fun to be in a motel and uh, test the mattress in a new state. And then have someone to make the sandwiches.

I have made multiple two week trips and lots of one week trips with my wife. We stuffed everything inside the car however.



All of this was in my 911, and I did not bother to take my helmet bag up to the room. It was still in the car. One need many small bags to pack a 911 properly.

Is that a cup holder?

I like their style as well, it is good to see someone using the car and not parking it so it doesn't get lots of miles.

I wonder how loud it is. Do you suppose they picked that color for the car so it would sort of match?

You can take a lot of stuff inside a 911 though

Dad has like 300,000 miles on his '84

My wife and I spend two to three works in Europe and we carry everything we need in two roll away bags which fit in the over head bins. WTH with all the luggage?
