What have you hauled in your MS3 today?

[becks]

I did a 6 chair and table patio set (in their boxes) the other day and a full size built wheelbarrow + 2 passengers today.

I get $0.55 a mile when I do work stuff in my car.

hmmm....i guess if it's all highway that's a good enough deal

It's break-even. That's what the IRS allows the boss to claim as a business expense. Surprisingly accurate, last time I compared my actual cost/mile to the reimbursment.

Yeah, it works well for me, but totally screws my co-worker with an F350 dualie, barely covers his fuel expenses. We've needed his truck for a few freight items.

Big ass stroller in the hatch and two kids, one in a booster and one in a rear facing baby seat (Man those rear facer's take up a lot of space!). Had to push the passenger seat up to fit the rear facer in. Never make the mistake of trying to put a rear facing seat in the seat behind the driver unless you are 5' tall. I'm not talking just MS3. I'm talking in any smallish car.

 

[JamesCH]

Hauled 2 lawn chairs, 50 paver stones, 10 logs, kindling, newspaper, and s'more ingredients. Made a fire pit, made a fire, made s'mores, had a beer.

The rubber cargo mat is worth it's weight in gold.

 

[Z-Indy]

Propane tank for grill and a baby.

What's the best place to get the rubber hatch mat? How much?

 

[Z-Indy]

By the way, a plastic milk crate makes hauling propane tanks a lot easier. No falling over or rolling around.

 

[peter.sellers]

Hauled a FULL dining table & 4 chairs on Saturday.

The chick who sold me the stuff was giving me the 'There's no way its all going to fit in there!' look.

13 minutes later, she was giving me the 'I wanna have sex with you' look.

Needless to say, I enjoyed the cigarette during my drive home

Riiiiiiiight

 

[BillTheCat]

I hauled a 100' garden hose & hose reel/cart in the passenger's seat, plus a new 4-burner gas grill and propane tank. And I had plenty of space for more stuff. I could've put the hose & reel in the back if I had known how much room there'd be!

I just got mine at a dealer for 30 or 40 bucks (I think?) it was about a year ago, memory is a little fuzzy.

Ok. Thanks. I'll check it out.

Definitely something I need. I'm a big fisherman, and I don't really want to throw socking wet waders and muddy wading boots on the carpet back there in the hatch.

11O VOLT mig welder 2 bags of groceries, and a 110lb german shepard

 

[JamesCH]

110 amp mig welder?! It's either incredibly small, or incredibly huge. Surely you mean 110volt mig welder.

Out of curiosity, what are you welding?
