Canned nuts are the annual fall fundraiser for Girl Scouts in Southern California, and once again, I'm wearing the Nut Mom hat.
Sales were slow for Troop 4723 this year, and with only 18 cases to pick up, I wasn't overly concerned about my choice of nut haulin' vehicle.
But "always being prepared," I drove our 2009 Volvo XC60 to the warehouse, just to make sure no cans of cashews were crushed in the load process. With 30.8 cubic feet of cargo space behind the rear bench, there was plenty of room for the nuts, plus my nine-year-old labor force could still take her second-row middle seat.

What happened to cookies?? Did the GS decide to go all health nuts? (Pun intended)

I have say it.
"This was our response to the German Commander... Nuts."
One question though is the visor that goes over the cargo area removable?

@the_big_al: Nuts are the G.S. fall fundraiser. Cookie sales start near the end of January.
@zoomzoomn: As the Nut Mom, I've already heard it all, believe me.
@hybris: Yes, the cargo cover is removable, just didn't bother for this light load.
