~70 cubic feet, which is the same as the old Legacy wagon I had. More than the Fit (which is more than enough if a Labrador isn't involved). Probably not going to drive it around the world, but they seem to have a good mix of road manners with plenty of dirt road ability, and with the right...

I'm stuck in Chicago. It snows (and thunderstorms) in Chicago, so my motorcycle isn't as a good a year round commuter as it was in Oregon. Full time 4wd for the snow, and softer than a TJ to get to someplace interesting. Pickups are taxed bad here (truck plates, even on a Ranger), and I can't...

Monument Valley. Winter camping gear for 2, and one mountain bike all inside. Did PDX to Amarillo then to the Grand Canyon, Antelope Valley (nice sand wash of a parking lot), then up to Moab and then Antelope Island where there was also a little dirt road. Skipped the dirt drive through...
