And I thought I was weird! This last summer I did a lot of landscaping in
the back yard and not having a truck or other utility type vehicle I hauled
some 200 + bags of concrete mix (80 lbs ea.) in the trunk of my 85 XJ-6. Let
me hasten to add I did this 8 bags at a time over a period of a month or so
and only about a 5 mile distance. Still 640 lbs in the trunk did lower the
rear end just a wee bit. It also caused many comments from the local
hardware emporium employees about using a Jag as a truck. My Jag, by the
way, is in mint condition, and some of the uneducated actually thought it
was a new one. It survived the ordeal with no ill effects. But 3000 lbs? now
that's a bit too much even for a Jag.

But don't try this with your GT6.
Hilarious and incredible.
