Getting the light hauling done in compact cars is not really so hard, but some people are either too reckless to try it or just look for an excuse to get a big truck with a boat-anchor engine.

I haven't had the Fit long enough to haul much, but last week I had a 100 foot roll of 1.25" PVC hose. I had to unwrap it and feed it in because it was too big to fit in the hatch as one piece.

For several years I used to take my push mower, blower, weed eater, hedge trimmer, etc . . . in my Festiva to mowing jobs.
I made two short ramps from 2x4 PT scrap, and just had to fold the mower handle down to fit it in the back.
I saved enough money mowing to buy a 40" riding mower this year, and if I could fit that beast in the Festiva I'd do it.

My Jetta was great for hauling stuff!
:P
My Civic does a decent job as a parts chaser. I've hauled a door, a full set of 29" tall tires/wheels, and 900lbs of electric motors (evenly distributed about the car). Not all in the same trip. |

This reminds me of something I saw this weekend. A guy was riding his bicycle with a homemade trailer carrying a mower, gas cans, and a weed eater with a sign on the side advertising his mowing business. |

Ive hauled a lot of crap in my insight too, but I get a lot of over sized items that either need to be trailer or tied on top. A pickup truck would be nice considering I do yard and land scape and the city gives free dirt to its residents. Its hard to load the back of an insight with a front end loader of dirt, then unload it later.
