five adult sized people (two are 6'3") all together and baggage (one guitar too) and my passengers are dreading being squished together.

I refuse to take the minivan.

LOL.

I will report back to you when I return.

Hopefully the trip isn't too long. Enjoy the ride.

What happens when you tell them you want to keep the windows rolled up and the A/C off to keep your tank average up?

j/k....good luck!

(It's actually an '09!)

Back from the trip.

900miles of fun.

Actually, there was plenty of leg room and head room for the two tallest in the back and the trunk held everything including the guitar when geometry was used to pack it to its most efficient order.

The airconditioner was mostly on...lol. I did allow for that.

I would do it again.

Sounds like fun...but would your friends do it again? :-)
