My husband wanted to buy a truck to help with maintenance issues for our rental property. I don't want another vehicle. The deal is that we don't buy a truck, but he can stuff anything he wants in the trunk of my car. So its full of tools right now.

I too had the "Bought a new car without being prepared" moment and had to transfer everything from the old trunk into the new....Ever since I have been trying VERY hard to be better about letting junk collect...but it is hard! Especially in the winter. I usually do a big clean on the first nice spring day. It is usually full of coats, winter hats, gloves, and scarves. There are also ALWAYS several books and papers from work in there as well as several reusable shopping bags.

We just bought a new vehicle, so the trunk is spotless and empty. Our trade-in was awful - not so much the "trunk" area, but the backseats - it's amazing how much junk my kids will leave on the seats!

Am I the only one who saw the subject line and thought it was about ass size? Cuz I was gonna be all like, I got a LOT of junk in my trunk! LOL

We just a bought a used car today and I have no idea if there's anything in the trunk or not. Now I'm all curious.

When I first got my car my mom (whose old car it is) was obsessive about me keeping it clean, clean, clean. So right now, I think there is a black plastic bag in it (from when I went over to a friend's house and brought beer). My backseat is a bit of a different issue, I think there is two boxes (from when I got products from EF actually and was too impatient to wait to go home to open them). And one old soda bottle.

Right now I have 3 rolls of superman wrapping paper, 3 faded resin frog sculptures that belong to a friend of mine and he adores the silly little things and the paint has all chipped off so I'm repainting them, 3 blankets from going to the drive-in, a gallon of wiper fluid, and a giant square tupperware container I bought at a yard sale.

We got a new car recently too, so there's just some reusable grocery bags back there right now, I think. <3

We try to keep our car pretty clean (except from dog hair... that shit is everywhere), so our trunk just has a blanket and some reusable grocery bags.

I don't have a car now. When I did though, the trunk was kept pretty clean. The backseat, however, was full of stuff (mostly fast food stuffs).

I have a stroller (which rarely gets used anymore but we took it to the zoo recently...ish), an antique chess set that I really need to bring inside, cheap jumper cables, and a car tool set thing from my mom. Sorry, there's nothing too exciting.

Fencing equipement! Like, 'en garde!' fencing, not white picket variety. I used to do it a lot and was part of my college club, but I got so busy with work and whatnot that I haven't had time I keep forgetting to take it out.

Today I was driving my fiance's pickup. In the bed of that is a push bar off a 60's International Harvester. So says he. That went right over my head. But it's wicked cool looking, lol

Alot of stuff.....

I drive a pickup truck with crew cab so its got a good amount of space. No trunk but a truckbed lol. Heres what I got

I do alot of work in my truck for a day or two it becomes my office because we have to go to areas that theres nothing for miles and test products and you have to record data and everything....and you need 4 wheel drive to get there

If I was to empty it out IDK what I would find. Nothing was better then when I had my dog in backseat and It was sniffing around didnt think anything of it. I guess I never brought the bag from the store in. It had a bottle of flavored and scented lube never even opened. I look back and the dogs chewing the bottle and eating the lube. It was messed up. LOL, I didnt even know I had it and it was a brand new bottle in the bag with the recipt grrrr.

Just picked up my new car, the only thing in its trunk, for now, is a full size spare and a jack.
