Oddest thing you've hauled inside your HHR
#41
2 adults, 2 Jack Russell terriers, 1 Miniature Pinscher, 1 very large Labradoodle, a Moluccan ****atoo, an African Grey Parrot and a Yellow-Nape Amazon Parrot ... the birds in cages ... plus food and clothing and miscellaneous stuff ... all together for a 3 hour drive to Alabama.
EDIT: Didn't think about the auto-censor ... that would be a Moluccan Cocatua (or c.o.c.k.a.t.o.o.)!

A complete small block Chevy to the machine shop... disassembled of course. I threw a blue tarp in and put the short block in the center over the rear wheels with the heads on each side of it. All the boxes with the rest of everything got stacked around that. I was amazed at how much it didn't squat from the weight.

I'm not sure what a short block weighs, this was a bare block with the pistons, rods and crank out of the block already, it wasn't heavy for two people. I had the block on an engine stand upside, thereby making it about level for loading, and I was able to roll the stand under the rear of the HHR a bit. Then me and a friend grabbed the block using the cylinder holes and lifted it off the stand to the tarp on the rear most part of the load deck, and then slid it over the rear wheels.
I hauled it back from the machine shop in a pick-up though because it was all assembled then and would of probably been too tall and/or too difficult to get in.
