I keep the MINI pretty cleaned out, CR** adds weight and looses performance. But in my Samurai I keep everything I need if I have to dissapear for a few days(months). Including TOOLS, tent, non perrishable food, survival items, and a 5 gallon water can. If I need to its just throw in the shottie(12GA), 45(GLOCK), and 308(FN, SPR) and I could stay gone all summer(ammo permiting).

 

RFLOL my other summer car is an MR2 spyder my R52 has cavernous storage in comparison.

When the mini gets full though I just put the seats down in my subruban and drive it in on ramps

 

Personally I carry mine in my IWB holster but I do keep a lock box in the boot in case I end up somewhere the silly CC laws in VA forbid me to keep it with me.
