    Welcome from Cincy. Read, read, read, then keep reading the old threads and you will see, you are NOT, limited to cans. You can do a lot, with a small car, once you have the knowledge. Good luck!!

    Welcome and your next step may be getting a small trailer and a hitch for your car. Even a rooftop carrier can add to your hauling power. Be conservative but grow through learning and doing. Experience is the best teacher. Reading this forum is equally important and beneficial.

    Anything you can stuff in there is fair game, I've hauled many a load in my car.
    This is just one of many loads coming home.
