Frightening.
I transported two 4x8 sheets of OSB yesterday on top of my Golf. I was really worried I might lose the load - - I asked Twil to follow me home from the store, just in *that* case.. Slow roads (25 mph) the whole way. Home safely!

Why didn't you use the truck, did hauling that stone kill it?
Michelin say their long promised airless tire will be on the market by 2024. Last I heard about this is it takes a special rim designed for it. Probably show up on Mercedes, BMW, or Teslas first.

I was considering a Ford Focus until I discovered it had no spare tire. If these last on the market for a few years, I might consider a car without a spare.

There are uite a few on the market without spares, getting by with tire pressure monitors and an AAA card. The Corvettes use run flats but the ride is terrible with them on any surface except a pool table.

The truck is currently full of demolition waste, the tub, much of the rotted floor, tile, a gas grill etc. It's not yet full enough to justify a trip to the dump, but much too full to be useful for hauling new material, especially the sheet goods.

You need interchangeable beds, or a trailer to fill between dump runs. But that leads to a trailer for this, and a trailer for that, etc.

Multiple trailers I'm good with, it's the lack of parking that is the problem.

Probably wise to expend the time and energy piling up and then loading.
I learned that once loading, unloading and reloading. I'd hate to do the tub three times. |

I'm sure avoiding the re-handling is why he went ahead and put it into the truck to begin with...
But, damn, Ima need that truck!

My "little truck", a term of endearment I use for the VW Golf at times like this performed admirably.
