fotomoto Posted March 3, 2014 Report Share Posted March 3, 2014 Fotomoto I thought you were hard at landscaping again--glad it was your former project as it is way too chilly here to dirt into the earth yet. You should post the photo of the finished garden bed as it was so nice, and it will give us all gardening fever. Unfortunately, one of the two beds died from the heat/too much sun, so I'll be starting a new one and will post it then. However, the CMax continues as the work mule by having to transport a very large front loading washer and dryer combination plus pedestals this last weekend. Believe me, it doesn't get any tighter than this! The box was the exact same size as the hatch opening (29 inches) but I still had close to a foot of clearance left before the front seats. 8 cubic foot front load dryer: It took three trips but I saved the $55 delivery fee. :rockon: ScubaDadMiami, C-MaxSea, ptjones and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fbov Posted March 3, 2014 Report Share Posted March 3, 2014 This was our load driving to Louisiana two weeks ago to see my son... I've found the side doors have greater roofliine-to-deck height, so the tall stuff, like the cherry apothecary chest, goes in the side. There's also a small pie safe, end table, music stand, and a bunch of boxes between the chest and the telescope and food processor framing my luggage. I didn't take a pic when I had the pie safe in there... 1/4" to spare on the shock towers, with a cornice molding that nicely fit the hatch opening. I also missed the trip in Louisiana, bringing a dining room set and TV stand to his place. Every time I see a FFH, I remind myself that the Fusion body style just doesn't fit my lifestyle...

Laurel Posted March 9, 2014 Report Share Posted March 9, 2014 (edited) Ginger lily that is new to me. I will have to go and read about it. Sure is pretty. I am thinking it isn't available around here, but I'll check it out. We are big on hostas around here due to the climate--sort of rainy and temperate with lots of slugs who eat the leaves LOL. I just looked up ginger lilies. Wow they have some beautiful flowers when in bloom. Fotomoto that flower bed is going to be gorgeous!

fotomoto Posted March 20, 2014 Report Share Posted March 20, 2014 Quick run to the recycle center to drop off a lot of cardboard boxes; a good portion from the washer/dryer set seen in post #26. C-MaxSea and Laurel 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fotomoto Posted April 18, 2014 Report Share Posted April 18, 2014 (edited) Not full but very, very heavy (250 lbs of concrete alone): Lowrider (tires at 46 psi): And what other kind of vehicle can haul a load like this and still get incredible fuel economy?

Smiling Jack Posted April 18, 2014 Report Share Posted April 18, 2014 ....................And what other kind of vehicle can haul a load like this and still get incredible fuel economy?...................

bro1999 Posted April 22, 2014 Report Share Posted April 22, 2014 (edited) 3 six foot fold-up tables and 12 chairs. Probably could have fit a few more chairs in there if I tried.

fotomoto Posted May 27, 2014 Report Share Posted May 27, 2014 Another busy weekend with several visits to the home and garden store: 30 cubic feet of mulch (two trips for a total of 60 cu.ft!) 45 paver stones @ 20 lbs each=900 lbs! Tires at 50 psi. Even so, I still got 53.1 mpg on the way home! :worship: C-MaxSea, salsaguy, ptjones and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C-MaxSea Posted May 27, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 27, 2014 (edited) More mayhem in your C-Max Foto ! 900 pounds, great mpgs, fantastic - forget the Urban Activity Vehicle; it is certainly an Urban Assault Vehicle in your hands. I fear significant work at both ends though. I have always appreciated the 'square' end opening.

fbov Posted June 2, 2014 Report Share Posted June 2, 2014 Our "haul" for Memorial Day... Wooster OH to Burlington VT. The cocoon is a lingerie cabinet, and there's a larger dresser in the car. Once thing you can't see is my license plate, which moved to the caboose for the duration. HAve fun,Frank C-MaxSea and hybridbear 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
