Default Ridiculous SC Question O' The Day

What the heck do I do with my dry cleaning? I stopped to pick it up on the way home from the office, but didn't know what to do with it once I got to the car. Obviously, a retractable hardtop has no hooks for hanging such things, but heck!

1600 miles and loving it....

I laid them flat on the shelf where the retractable roof rest in the trunk a few times, when the roof was up of course.

How about this... solution: "Honey, can you pick up my dry cleaning today? I'd love to, but the car..."

How about this....get a dry cleaner that does home pick-up and delivery. It would be one less stop to make!

If you bolt a big hook (get one in the hammock hanging hardware section at Home Depot) into the plastic wind block between the rear "seat" headrests, you can hang a few items from there and let them hang into the back.seat area. That's what I do, and it works great.

You didn't really?! Post a pic of it, please.

I've seen those coat hangers that attach to the posts of the headrests. I haven't done it yet, but why not a strong cord that wraps around those posts & hangs down enough to have the hangers reach WITHOUT poking into the seats? I should try that.

Of course, I currently either lay them in the trunk (top up, of course), or on the front seat. Most of the time, I'm headed straight home (I can't stand the sound of rustling plastic ), so they don't stay there long.

Dry Cleaning? Dry Cleaning?
Oh yeah .. I remember that concept from when I used to work in an office. I work at home now and am rarely out of my underwear. It's not a pretty sight, so don't ask for pictorial evidence.

Oh gawd!

You're my hero, Ed.

I'm halfway retired, and look forward to hangin out in my drawers soon. (Man, I'm losing my appetite reading this forum this week.) I'm at the shorts and T-shirt stage now. And coincidentally, I went to the dry cleaners for the first time in 5 months today. I drove my Segway HT there, but when I pick it up, it will be laid neatly in the carpeted trunk of the SC.
