Meh, I manage to fit an SVT flange-back (the flange after the cat) in my cabin. Snipey was a witness and helped me put it in :cool:

We (me, snob, mexican) put a full true dual exhaust in a contour, manifolds back :). Of course the mufflers were hanging out of the trunk...
 
reminds me of the day I picked up my 37" TV from the warehouse in Boston (in the Maxima). The fold-down seats were useless, it took up the entire trunk even when out of the box.

Yep, no folding seats for me, LOL...

Looks stolen.
 
I noticed you have a '95. That's before Ford decided to scoop out a little the back part of the front seats to add some extra space.

No :cry:

It is just the basic Trek model, only cost me like $250... I was just sick of destroying Walmart bikes... It is only a 21 speed but it has the big rear cog, I have not come across I hill which I could not climb with it, yet :crazy:
 
Yeah me and my friend tried to fit a mountain bike with no front tire in my backseat in the summer (non-split fold) and when we shut the door, POP! Popped a nice hole in the speaker grill, so I just got some post-98 mystique leather, and oh my god, it's so perfect, like Alias said, THE LUMBAR SUPPORT! My friend has the same bike, it's the one that popped my speaker grill, and it did pretty well for him, but my $100 wal-mart bike did better climbing hills and crossing creeks. :shrug:

LOL, I closed the door slowly, and sure enough if I had slammed it I would have done the same... So I just lifted it up, shut the door, and rested it on the arm-rest :p

JMWU. It gets the job done and that's all that matters. Speaking of Wally-World, I found out I needed an upgrade from my Mongoose in 8th grade when I snapped it in half at the bottom bracket. I only hit a small drop off. It was like a 3-footer. I'm now spending my time hurling myself off 5-footers with an all-mountain Iron Horse HARDTAIL with not a care in the world. I'll break all my ankles and knees before I break that bike. Tough as nails, and It cost just $600. The only stuff I've thrown at it was drive train and brake-related. Oh, and 2.5 inch tires.
 
When I got my 95 SE I had a large box of parts from what the guy had left over from two engine swaps, plus an extra y-pipe, etc, and a set of 17" BBS RX rims with rubber on them, and a set of Blizzaks from the stock 15s all in the back. The folding seats helped :)

Edit: There was also a 15" sub in the trunk.
