My favorite personal anecdote was when I drove ~90 minutes to a friend's house in January so we could use his '98 Tahoe to pick up a king sized bed from Ikea. But we couldn't actually close the back doors with all of the boxes in there. It was quite chilly. When we got back to his house, I said "you know what, let's at least try to fit this in my (2007) Honda Fit. If it works, I'm warm, you don't have to waste 180 minutes on a round trip (with the first half freezing), and I save a bunch in gas." He thought I was crazy and it would never work. But wouldn't you know, with the passenger seat folded back we could get everything in with the hatch closed. I was able to drive the bed straight home and save my friend a lot of hassle!
