What kind of car do you drive? (re: photo equipment / ladders / etc)

[zennoodle]

I'm curious what kind of cars you guys transport your camera equipment with. With the basic ladder and lights, I can fit everything in my Legacy. However, with growing business comes more equipment. I know after a day's shoot, I don't want to be bending over the trunk. Anyway, what is your vehicle? what's your take?

Fred Flinstone style.

I actually do not own one. I'm just being silly.


I was trying to be modest. Here is my daily driver.

Surprising how much photo gear you can shove in a Mini Cooper or a Mustang trunk. If I need a ladder I'll have my wife bring her truck.

Passat Wagon. I can hide stuff in the back under the sliding cover. And carry the bike and kayak on top.

Plenty of room for everything you could possibly want to carry, but I don't have a camper cover, so if it rains or if I want to stop somewhere, I have to put it all in the backseat.

My concern is that there isn't anywhere to get the camera equipment out of sight when I stop somewhere (restaurant, Home Depot, etc.). I usually throw a jacket over my camera bag, but I can't cover the tripod and everything else. I'm sure one of these days someone will break in when they see a camera strap or something that gets their attention.

i take either the jeep grand cherokee or dodge viper. The viper has room for most stuff except a ladder and i have more fun driving it to the location.
