I bought a table saw during COVID. They only allowed pickup in the parking lot. You couldn’t rent vehicles because we were on lockdown. I had no choice but to pick it up with my Jetta.

People were laughing their asses off at me unpacking it and barely fitting it in the trunk. Styrofoam was going everywhere as I broke it. Had to throw all the packing material into a dumpster.

So embarrassing.

My wife’s mum was helping me move everything from a two-bedroom unit, in a Toyota Yaris hatchback. Completely filled the car with stuff. It took maybe six or seven trips back and forth, but we got it done eventually.

This was before I had a drivers license or much money, so I couldn’t just rent a truck, nor could I afford to pay a mover.

Cudos to the “My good gas mileage car can do this” crowd, though.

My VW Passat hybrid has carried more material on the roof rack than I’d be happy to admit.

Omg this was me when my dad and brother told me they’d strapped down studs in the back of my dad’s escort wagon. After taking the first turn I discovered that was a lie

At least Menards offers a truck you can rent temporarily to transport your large items home.
