2009 Nissan 370Z: Wondering What It Can Haul?

...but only two boxes worth. Our family has a "subscription" to a local farm for our weekly produce and yesterday was the day. Turns out it's a good thing we only get one box of fruit and one box of vegies because that's all that would fit in the back of the 370Z.

I believe "vegies" is spelled "veggies."

The Z hasn't been interesting since the 300ZX TT.

I hate to be a downer, but that cargo space doesn't amount to a hill of beans; you know it?

Whatever, you know you want to laugh.

Lowmilelude--To paraphrase Dr. McCoy: I'm a sports car, not a pack horse.

Does it have room for a spare transmission?

Is there enough room in there for a body bag + ^-- that guy?

A flea can jump many times its height, an elephant cannot. Right car, wrong use. If you wanted to go grocery shopping, maybe the "Z" is not the right car -- somehow I don't think that the engineers at Nissan figured a requirement for grocery shopping into the Z equation.

Maybe take an SUV next time and get a couple more boxes of food -- leave the Z for more purposeful activities.

Is this supposed to be another shot at the 370?? I mean, who takes a two seat sports car to go haul produce anyway???

The question of cargo space may seem silly in a car of this nature, but some folks- me, for instance - may like to be able to drive an exhilarating sports car and not have to borrow the spouse's car for a trip to the golf course. So, the last one could hold a golf bag. Will this one?
