I’ve been in this situation a few times where I have something hanging out the hatch of a car. Often, there isn’t really anything to hold the hatch down. But at slightly open positions like this, the handle for the hatch is perfectly oriented to clip a bungee cord on and hold it down.
Is this just a coincidence? Maybe. Still pleased me when strapping it down in the parking lot
I do wish there were actually a hook of some kind, though, for when it’s significantly more open. Not that I’ve actually needed that.
Im not a truck person, but if someone actually uses their truck to haul shit around then that is by definition not a pavement princess.
A pavement princess is a truck or an offroad vehicle that is never used for any of the purposes it was engineered for, like hauling shit or driving offroad.
Also, hauling lumber with a truck is infinitely better than the dumb shit people do to haul lumber otherwise, simply because theyre too lazy to rent a truck for a day. The other week I saw someone with a few 12ft pieces of lumber sticking 6ft up and out the sunroof of their audi a4. Just fuckin rent an appropriate vehicle, its not that hard
it’d be pretty difficult to haul these 16 footers with a truck, though. calls for a big trailer unfortunately. I think their point is more that people say they need a truck for stuff like this but really it’s just not necessary, or even less convenient
luckily for me I had it just fine with the car, my 7ft trailer wouldn’t have helped me lol. although I did consider hitching it up just to ensure my stickout was covered haha
That’s what roof racks are for. I regularly transport long lumber there. Sometimes even full sheets of plywood.
The point is that they don’t need the truck.
