Same with the insight. Put them in cross wise rear driver to front passenger. I can do ten feet, 12 feet with passenger window open.

The guys at home depot love watching me make large pieces of lumber disapear inside my car.

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.
Do you ride that instead of driving the Festiva?

I've had 2 sheets of plywood (cut in half lenth wise) inside my Civic, hatch closed. I could have loaded it without cutting the sheets in half but I would have had to drive leaning out the opened drivers door, Ace Ventura style. As it was I was nervous driving with the plywood resting on my right sholder. Thankfully Home Depot is only a mile away.

Cool

Thats what I like about the roof line of the insight, if you do not mind riding slouched down in the seat you can easily shove a full size door over top the seats and close the hatch.

Table complete

I want to share the completed table project that was part of the OP in this thread. I posted a pic of it and description of the project here:

See my car's mod & maintenance thread and my electric bicycle's thread for ongoing projects. I will rebuild Black and Green over decades as parts die, until it becomes a different car of roughly the same shape and color. My minimum fuel economy goal is 55 mpg while averaging posted speed limits. I generally top 60 mpg. See also my Honda manual transmission specs thread.
