...because their own car won't fit all of their gear. 
Ranger pick-up. I can fit either my amp...or my guitar in the cab. And I am morally opposed to forcing either to ride in the bed.

I put my combo and cab in the bed, but can squeeze them into the cab if it is foul out. My wife plays upright. We have a GEO prism with the front passenger seat removed. An amp, bass, and the two of us can fit with me driving, and her in the rear seat behind me.

|  | Mr. Pompous A$$ | | Join Date: Apr 2000 Location: Los Angeles area | | | I hate driving my wife's F250 Crewcab Turbo Diesel... with the big ol' Bank's kit on it... way too big, and way too high to lift gear into.
I just traded in my Chrysler 300 for a Honda CR-V - it's got plenty of space for my rack, 410, and the small PA... and much easier to load!
My wife's tryin' to steal MY car! LOL |

Friends don't let friends drive Fords, etc.

They have a lot of room, low load floor, four-wheel drive, they are excellent daily drivers, and most have privacy glass to hide my gear. Great vehicles.

| | Registered User | | Join Date: Jan 2006 Location: Brookfield, CT | | | Nnnnnnot me.....sorry. I can fit a 4x10, plus a 2x10, a rack, my bass, and all my other junk into the back of my Beetle. Amazing but true, no minivan required. A hatchback car will hold a LOT of stuff- Europeans have known this for years.
To the OP: maybe get a cap for the Ranger? |

| | | | Make sure wife gets vehicle back without glitter/sparkle stuff on the seats, lipstick stains, panties, or anything else incriminating after a gig. Make it a part of your routine to clean up no matter how late it is or how tired you are after the show... |
