I figured I'd share the events of this afternoon involving my 244.

I work in a supermarket. Today, my supermarket ran out of Capri Sun packages, which were on sale. My boss told me to go buy some from other nearby grocery stores and gave me money and a list of flavors to get. I headed out in my brick.

After putting 88 10-pouch packages of Capri Sun (I believe each held 2 liters of liquid) in my trunk and back seat, the car had quite a backwards slant to it: the top of the rear wheels were concealed underneath the wheel wells, while the front wheels had perhaps half of an inch between the top and the wheel well. Driving my car across town back to my store was quite an experience, and I realized that if I were driving a FWD car (as many of my friends do), I would have had quite a time not spinning my wheels and sliding around. Not once did I have major trouble driving, although the accleration, obviously, wasn't too great.
