Best use of packing cubes - EVER!

It's a used Pontiac Solstice. Fun little car.

I'm going through a "minor mid-life crisis" and need a sports car. What kind of car is it?

I am going through a minor midlife crisis as well, but my cure is Tom Bihn (my other car ;-) )

This is too cool! I hope you had a great trip!

So I flew to my hometown, Kalamazoo, and borrowed my dad's new convertible (or what I call his "minor mid-life crisis") to drive 4.5 hours up north to spend a week on a lake with friends I've known since the 3rd grade (nearly 30 years). My packed-to-the-gills Aeronaut wouldn't fit in the truck with the top down, but taking the two small packing cubes out allowed me to easily redistribute the load to fit in the minimal trunk space. Thanks to the packing cubes, I was able to drive around with the top down for a great summer drive!
