    The OCD part of me hates clutter in my cars, even out of view in the trunk or hatch. So nothing ever just sits there. I do like the collapsible box idea, and that sub-woofer idea could be marketed.

    A flashlight, a towel, a blanket, clean socks & underwear, kotex, window cleaner, cleaning cloth for windshield, folded up trash bag (this is all under the floor), a parasol, and I think my DH's altimeter is under there, too.
    In the visible part, I carry my "bag-o'-bags" (reusable shopping bags), and a large folded blanket.
    This afternoon, there will also be four folding chairs in the Prius, a vegetable tray, some fruitcake, blueberry bars, baklava, chocolate pudding and apple slices, and some soy nog. Oh, and us! :p

    Hmm, you all have given me ideas on what else I should be carrying in my hatch for safety reasons. Times like this I ewish the storage areas were not filled up with amplifiers!

    As for you Rae Vynn, You're luck you do not live closer or I might be temped to break and enter your poor little car just to raid the home-baked goodies! :rockon:

    Heavest thing?
    725lbs of UPS batteries and a 300lb 240 Volt DC to AC power supply ... all stuffed between the front & rear seats and in the rear hatch, making the 400 mile journey (along with my 225lb body weight) in the Prius - unofficially carrying 1,250LBS ... more than double its recommended GWV ! ! !

    :eek:

    I carry my gym bag and sneakers ... and sometimes the decorative pillow that I sewed for my prius gets thrown back there when I have a full load of people in the car!

    Does anyone know if two bikes can fit in the back with the seats folded down and all?
