LOL

Just make sure you take a picture after you go down one of those mountains and the house plows into and over you.

1 passenger and two golf bags in the trunk.

Also had my mom come out to visit and should've known better than to pick her up in the S. Luggage flowing out of the trunk (ghetto tied the trunk with a rope to keep it from flapping) and luggage on her lap.

Not in a MY 2000, you would need an AP2 but i thought everyone knew that. keep the jack screws on the central jack screw capisater to avoid any bleeding out of the hydraulic oil as the house begins to move down the highway, this will also help avoid some of the swaying we all find when you tow large objects wit hthe "S" - an annoying problem, you'll need trailer brakes too - a must when towing anything over 60K#

thanks for the pic of the guy with his boat, i remeber that "just cause you can doesn't mean you should thread". he even posted a vid and couldn't understand why everyone thought it was so crazy...

Another member and I had a hell of a time just fitting 4 AP2 wheels (no tires) in his S2K. I picked up the box with my AP2 OEM front lip inside from the post office when I missed the delivery date, but that was only about a 3 mile trip.

I fit my home theater system box in the passenger seat. Just BARELY got the door closed, and had literally like an inch before it would impede shifting, the top was down, and sticking WAY out there. This was also late November here so it was also pretty chilly, like 35 degrees outside, so heater was on full blast.

There was a guy in the parking lot just staring at me, just wondering how I planned to get the thing home when he saw me pull the cart next to my car.

He gave me the thumbs up after I was done.

After the 04 hurricanes (and the complete squashing of my nissan Pickup beater by a pine tree) I moved an entire 3-tab shingle roof in for my 1700 sq.ft house in my S2K. If I recall correctly it'll haul 8 rolls of tar paper (wrapped in plastic) or 12 bundles of shingles, 6 in trunk and 6 in pass seat area with the seat removed. I think I made around 35-40 trips to Home Depot. (There were no rentals of any kind available for over 100 miles) It took me over a week to install the full roof, with no electricity and obviously no A/C (I will NEVER roof another house (at least in FL in the summer)) and then the whole frigging house burns to the ground during Hurricane Wilma from a power line.
