This car is the perfect size for a 16'7" canoe... and no I never got stopped and I passed by lots of cops

hah

But where'd you put the paddle....

^ Clever.

Haha, lol I have to find some portage pics.. real portage.

The paddles go inside, I usually bring 3.. put the back seats down and there's plenty of room. You can also tie them to the seats in the canoe if you wanna fit 4 people inside.

4 people? like actually inside the dsm? I had 3 in mine once, and he had to put his legs across the backseat. 4 plus camping gear is knuckin futz

Hey Dustin,

Yes I've done it. It's a FWD though so I have a bit more trunk room than AWD. Some of the people will end up holding some items in their hands and there will be no visibility in the back obviously due to the extremely overloaded trunk The car will also drop an inch or two naturally.. no need for lowering springs. One of the guys was 220lbs, rest 150 and lower.

I have a friend who fit 5 people inside but not camping, just driving around.

That's awesome!

In my younger stupider years I had in my old DL - four guys plus two snowboards, two sets of skis and equipment. All inside the car
Somehow we got to Blue Mountain and back unscathed

lol and I thought it was cramped for a small dog. I had to remove my backseats just to get all my goalie gear back there.

haha love the "Portage" caption.
