The OCD part of me hates clutter in my cars, even out of view in the trunk or hatch. So nothing ever just sits there. I do like the collapsible box idea, and that sub-woofer idea could be marketed.
A flashlight, a towel, a blanket, clean socks & underwear, kotex, window cleaner, cleaning cloth for windshield, folded up trash bag (this is all under the floor), a parasol, and I think my DH's altimeter is under there, too. In the visible part, I carry my "bag-o'-bags" (reusable shopping bags), and a large folded blanket. This afternoon, there will also be four folding chairs in the Prius, a vegetable tray, some fruitcake, blueberry bars, baklava, chocolate pudding and apple slices, and some soy nog. Oh, and us!
Hmm, you all have given me ideas on what else I should be carrying in my hatch for safety reasons. Times like this I ewish the storage areas were not filled up with amplifiers! As for you Rae Vynn, You're luck you do not live closer or I might be temped to break and enter your poor little car just to raid the home-baked goodies! :rockon:
Heavest thing? 725lbs of UPS batteries and a 300lb 240 Volt DC to AC power supply ... all stuffed between the front & rear seats and in the rear hatch, making the 400 mile journey (along with my 225lb body weight) in the Prius - unofficially carrying 1,250LBS ... more than double its recommended GWV ! ! ! it was REALLY sitt'n low . . . in fact I'd say it was SLAMMED, as the hot rodders would call it. Do NOT try this at home .

I race this. You must live in Chicago....or Compton? Do you have any vodka, comrade? Wth? No quantum torpedoes? :ban: You're the least heavily armed of your PriusChat peers!
not too much in my hatch.........just some Whole Foods bags to re-use when I go each week, an insulated bag to bring home frozen stuff..that's it. I'm not a big hauler of stuff!! By the way........WHO DAT!! We're Super Bowl-bound!!
A 17 foot ladder and a 5 foot step stool, four 8 gallon tubs of: PC parts, network electronics, network wiring and video wiring. 1000 foot spool of Cat 5e, 3 laundry bags of premade network cables: 5, 10, and 25 feet. A bag of power cables, one of printer cables, and one of telephone cables. Fish tape, a 3/8 inch drill, a 18 inch drill bit. 50 foot of extension cord and a vacuum cleaner. I also carry an emergency kit, spare pants and coat, and as many as two passengers.
A couple of mice -- probably -- and three of those "green grocery bags -- you know the ones you reuse over and over again.
I carry my gym bag and sneakers ... and sometimes the decorative pillow that I sewed for my prius gets thrown back there when I have a full load of people in the car! Does anyone know if two bikes can fit in the back with the seats folded down and all?
