I have it on good authority that 8 bags of pine mulch and 2 bags of top soil will fit on the passenger side footwell and seat. You should have seen the looks on the faces at Home Depot.
I have a 997 TT as well - there is no comparison.
The turbo is a fantastic car - but nowhere near as enjoyable to drive
LOL!!! I've actually been there...
I got a call from my wife a couple of weeks ago, to brag about how she was able to get 15 bags of mulch in our Merc-CLS... The only thing I could think to say was... "Could you please repeat what you just said, because I am certain that I did not hear what you just said, CORRECTLY!!!!
Sometimes I think that wives may be "Too Good" at improvising...
