The S2000's truck is HUGE compared to our '90 Miata. We've gone on weeklong trips in it before, and the only issue is my wife can't recline her seat enough to sleep comfortably.

We have driven 7 hours in ours on trips before. Same issue with sleeping passenger, but mine is on an STR setup so not reclining the seat is probably the least issue there lol. 700lb/in springs and feeling every crack in the road is probably as much of that lol. But true that while the S2k has a lot of leg room for its size, there is not a lot of room to recline the seats. My wife is 5' 7" so in normal seating position she cant recline that much at all. I have driven it 9 hours straight other than gas stops before by myself. Not bad for the type of car it is. But not as soft and squishy as the Tacoma either!
Osprey 40L and 65L along with car cover and coats. In lower section my wheelie computer bag with two laptops. Passenger seat and floor with daypack, cooler, box of food, and surface pro. Heading from south Florida to Bay Area.
Our anniversary is Sunday. 12 years married, 24 years together (to the day actually as we got married on the 12th anniversary of our first date). Our yellow S2k is in the garage now for the winter. It has already snowed and gotten cold here, but this weekend we could have taken the S out! It has been near 70 this week and is supposed to be 50's and 60's this weekend. But right now it is semi taken apart since a friend and I are swapping some parts between cars.
Ha, this thread is perfect. I literally just came back from picking up my new J's Racing front bumper.
The S has seriously huge luggage capacity, if you can remove the passenger seat, if necessary the spare tire AND are fluent in Tetris.You just need to get creative (and hope for dry weather). On several occasions, I hauled my whole DJ equipment, including two subwoofers, two midrange speakers, lightbar with stand, smoke machine, complete booth etc., my skis (180 cm) and a christmas tree - See pictures below. Of course, for all of these, you can't include a passenger. So if you're travelling with two people, things obviously get a bit harder, but certainly not hopeless.
I have one of those inflatable pontoon fishing boats with a seat and electric motor. I am able to deflate the pontoons and get the entire thing (with motor and battery) in the car with the trunk shut, but no pax of course. It takes a bit of effort and frankly it is just much easier to load the stupid thing in my 2002 Tacoma bed and just spend more time fishing. Plus I can take my lab. But......it can be done!
