Car Trunk Revolution is needed! Please help save the beers!

I am mad having my golf bag smashed and broke all my beers in my truck after a grocery shopping trip after the game. With all the improvements for cars over the decades, why can’t car makers have some improvement to the trunk? We need better protection and a simple method to manage items putting inside!

My current solution to prevent any more broken beer bottles is to put an anti-slipping mat in the trunk and a box to put beer and grocery in, that help stop the golf bag moving around when driving, and the beers may keep unbroken if I have the whole box filled with other items. But when I try to remove the golf bag, the anti-slipping mat is in a mess. The box is taking up my trunk space not to mention it looks ugly. Beer bottles still break if the box is relative empty because the beers and the box still move around… sucks.

So here is my suggestion. Make the damn trunk surface controllable to have smooth surface and rough surface changing by users’ selection. This way when I have my grocery and golf bag inside, I can turn it to a rough surface and stop the erratic movement of items and my beer bottles have less chance to be smashed. When I have arrive the destination, I can change the surface to smooth, and I can slide the heavy golf bag out of the trunk easily. This way, I don’t need to use the anti-slipping mat and the stupid ugly box. Problem solved with a nice and clean trunk.

Thanks for hearing my vent. I am just an upset owner of a Toyota Camry. But if you are working for the auto industry go talk some sense to your designers please! :banghead:

Honda with an all-new and highly anticipated Fit subcompact, and yes, it’s larger and has more engine. Even so, we’ll gamble on better fuel economy than the G8 Sport Truck.try with thisLINK REMOVED BY MODERATOR - SPAM
