    Someone had a thread showing photos of how much storage is in a Prius. One of the photos showed a hot water tank and computer equipment. I thought I marked it and am trying to find again for a friend who said "I don't think you have much storage"!

    The photos are hilarious but now to locate them.

    I do not have photos, but with the 60 side of the rear seat down, I can carry 3 18 gallon tubs, 1000 feet of ethernet cable and a 17 foot ladder. With both sides down I get a fourth tub.

    on the 2010, we have our "jogging stroller" (we dont jog, its the stroller with the big wheels on it and its twice the size of the "Mall" stroller which has the little wheels) which we have to put in the back of the SPM one side at a time because if it were a ¼ inch bigger, it would not fit at all, but fits with room to spare in the 2010.

    That's so funny! My friend has one and I've seen her pack it full of groceries, but it's never looked as full as a few of those pictures. Too hilarious. Thanks for sharing.

    I don't have teddy bears. :( I was a poor child and couldn't afford one.

    I've gotten three 8' (actually 100") 2x10's with the trunk closed, also a 46" Samsung LCD TV still in the box, again with the trunk closed. That's almost as big as you can get with the box still on, or angling the box, which I wouldn't really recommend.

    Also a 1/2 dozen bluebird boxes and a couple poles, but not in the same level as F8L.

    My hybrid bike fits in my hybrid car, of course. (27" wheels, mountain bike style handlebars, so it's kind of the worst-case bike size without getting into recumbents). I fold down the seats, but I can leave the bike wheels on.
