Home Depot Gets It Right

Check out the CR/W MC being loaded up. We all know it can be done, but
it's nice to see the do-it-yourself community could be driving something besides an SUV.

yah...agreed

I am a sculptor and take my MINI to home depot to get the wood and supplies and there are MANY times where things just wont fit.

The true DIY community should probably stick to more practical vehicles such as SUVs and trucks if they are gonna be hauling stuff from home depot.

With an open sunroof or in a cabrio, you can get plenty of stuff into a MINI. You should see all that I pack into Wanda for her annual spring road trip!

Maybe they used a MINI b/c of all the DIYers who are going there for parts for custom mods.

I think ken got this one, they use a MINI b/c presumably its a small trunk and that product will fit. Most of us know just how much you can really fit.
