Default Storage/Suitcase Options for the S

Always wondered what people use in terms of suitcase options when travelling in the S. I saw a few people have suitcases that fit right into the tool well area (24"x15" or so I think)....and was wondering... do any of you use that area to squeeze a bag in? Recommendations on luggage?

(I am posting this in vintage because I've met many of you who travel quite a lot and understand the value of space management).



Thanks!

We've got 2 suitcases that size and stack them in the tool well. Then we arrange everything else around that. Totes and other types of soft bags work great for non clothing items. Deleting the spare tire is also quite helpful.

That's all I got.

We are not as organized as some, but a large duffel bag that fits in the well works great. And you can stuff plenty of things in the corners too...We travel with the large duffle bag, a small one, a camera case and a small cooler. We've made several road trips in the S for seven plus days. Lots of fun!

Looter, nice. I'm not sure why you need all those tools - after all, it's a Honda, not an MG. But still nice.

I DO understand, I always carried too many in the S2000 also. It was ok going to the track but for every day driving I never used them once.
