So, it is getting down to the wire and it is definitely looking like myself and three friends will be cramming into a Celica for the journey. Those of you who aren't familiar, a Celica has two doors and barely has a back seat. I'm wondering if this is even going to be possible? Also, I want to hear if anyone else is doing something equally as stupid.

Last year, 3 of us went in an Accord, and with our gear, it was pretty tight.

OH WAIT.... you were serious... i would either dump one of the friends, or rent a car. if not, then your friends are going to have to get in the back seat and have stuff packed on top of them.

I know I'm going to take out the hatch cover and the floor to the hatch, freeing up a bit of space. Also, I don't have a luggage rack on my car, so I don't know how it would be possible to get one of those speedboat looking things on it. And where am I supposed to get the cash for one of those speedboat looking things anyways? Haha.
I'd consider taking out the spare tire for more room for gear, but I know once I do that disaster will strike.

i have my moms 02 explorer for me and 3 friends. i was talking to another friend last night about the price of gas for the trip (approx $600 round trip) and he asked me "dont you have another car to use?" i thought it funny i had to explain several reasons (4 grown adult men, long distance, lots of gear) before he understood that a smaller car would not be as beneficial to our purpose despite the larger gas cost.
coming from ohio i wouldnt want to be crammed into a celica driving to TN, add in the camping gear and clothes will make for a very uncomfortable ride. is there no way to bring like one massive tent instead of however many you are bringing, and combine all your clothes into one giant duffel bag instead of each bringing your own? if you have 4 tents and 4 bags of clothes it will be tough to pack that comforably.
all in all your best bet is to by any means possible find a larger vehicle.

There's a vague chance I'm taking my Subaru Outback Impreza Sport whatever I don't even know the name of my own car. Haha. The point is, it's fairly small. Doesn't sound as bad as what you're talking about, though.

Where at in Ohio are you coming from? I live in Newark which is 30 miles east of Columbus and the trip should only take 6-7 hours. Just wondering where you got the 13 hour trip.

An accord would seem like a full size uhaul compared to the celica.

The first I went I almost had to fit everything + me and 2 other people into an Escort until my mom took pity on us and let me use her Equinox. We were not looking forward to the trip there and back at all.
Of course, my mom vowed to never let me use her car again because I crashed it on the way home when a guy cut me off and I hit the guard rail. So thats why I bought my Caliber which has just enough room to fit enough stuff for 3 people and the 3 people comfortably.

I'm doing something equally as stupid, but yet it's just the opposite of cramming a dozen people in a Celica.
I'm driving a 1976 VW Microbus down by myself. Let me explain: 1. I'm volunteering so I have to be there a day earlier than the rest of my friends and they are not willing (understandably) to camp out for a day w/out transportation (NO ONE else can/may drive my bus). 2. I recently restored the engine, and need to take it on a longer road trip to see how it works. The good news is that due to my restoration, I now get about 26mpg. That's better than most suv's and some sedans. 3. I drive a Yaris the rest of the year--which gets roughly 40mpg, plus I've donated to various natural energy sources to offset my carbon footprint. 4. I've offered several people rides down, but no one wants to risk driving down in a vehicle that could potentially break down (even though I'm definitely qualified/have parts to fix most anything that could go wrong. It's amazing what zip ties and some duct tape and soda cans can do to get a veedub running).
With that said, anyone who wants to come to the the farm a day early, ride in a premium vintage automobile with several charming engine quirks, pm me : )
Watchin' a stretch of road, miles of light explode. Driftin' off a thing I'd never done before. Watchin' a crowd roll in. Out go the lights it begins. A feelin' in my bones I've never felt before...

Well, we are only bringing one tent and one small cooler. We're trying to find a shade dealy or we might just make one out of a sheet and some tent poles. I know it's not actually thirteen hours; we're coming from around Sandusky. Maybe we can bungee-cord some of the dumb stuff (chairs) to the back? God, I hope we can find a bigger vehicle.
Me and my buddy are going in a mitsubishi. w/ tent/ shade and 2 coolers. and other gear I thik it will be alright if anything we'll just hump it in my van

Last year we had 2 guys who camped next to us that rode harleys from VA . All they had was clothes, small tarp/tent and booze. They took next to nothing and had a blast !
