Ever Load Up A Car ?

Looks like a early Subaru or Datsun ?

A Bianchina! I almost bought one of those a few years ago.

Reminds me of the kinda car your friends would move or turn around in the high school parking lot while you're in class.

I had a '93 Ford Festiva that the football players would lift and turn in my driveway. My apartment was across the street from the college practice fields. It prepped me for parallel parking like a champ!

One of my high school friend's drove his dad's Beetle to school. He drove like a lunatic, so one of the maintenance people picked it up with a fork lift and moved it over between the shop buildings and the baseball fields. The car just fit between the brick wall and the chain link fence. Not sure how they expected him to find help. It didn't matter, he just backed into the chain link fence, and kept making turns until he had it straightened out. Then the maintenance people had to go fix the fence. Unintended consequences!

For a while in high school I had a 71 1200 Mazda. One Friday night I left it parked down at the city beach and when I when I got back it wasn't where I left it. It was some 50 yards away and there were 2 local constables looking it over. Oh boy what now! I thought. They questioned me as to where I had been and why my car was on a picnic table. Needless to say I was confused, confused enough that it showed and they believed me that I had no idea about what they were talking about.

A bit later I was told that some friends had picked up the back of the car and started rolling it around like a wheelbarrow and as people saw them more joined in to help (?) until they picked up and carried it off into the park where they placed it on a picnic table. There it sat for about an hour before the cops spotted it and then rounded up enough people to get it off the table and back to the parking lot, which is when I showed up.

Not a car but I know the little John Deere 'L' tractors will fit in an eight foot bed, between the wheel wells, with the tail gate shut. Half ton's could handle it no problem too since they only weigh between 1500 and 2000 lbs depending on equipment. There are pictures in the May-June 2000 issue of Two-Cylinder Magazine.

In high school I drove something a little closer to the Autobianchi Bianchina pictured above. It was a 1960 NSU Prinz with 2 cylinder air-cooled engine in the rear, that had an extra 100 cc, but weighed 40lb less, than the Bianchina.
I bought one for $350 and then found another for $50. Parts were hard to acquire , even '63. I took parts from one to keep the other running. By the time parts arrived, the second one broke down and I had to steal parts from the first.
Drove the Insurance agent crazy switching insurance back and forth. Fun high school car (s).

1964 Austin Healy Sprite- Walked out to the parking lot at school and couldn't find it. Finally noticed a buddy driving it around the parking lot on the back of his flatbed Dodge.
