hey all. just here to ask if you think it would be safe to put about 1500lb of concrete in my trunk lol im going to check the manual tomorrow but assuming it is above 1500 do you think it would be a good idea to make a 5 mile trip with that much weight in my trunk. i know it will fit, but im not sure about the new shocks and putting that kind of load on the airride self leveling. basically i just want to buy 20 of these

so i can park in the grass without this happening anymore..
although it does make it easier to park, i just line up the grooves and let go of the wheel lol. im most likely going to just have my mom trail me in the century and put half in each car but i just thought id post and get your thoughts.
thanks alot!

If you're moms following you with an American car with an ample trunk, why not put some concrete in there?

lol while we're on the topic does anyone have any suggestions other than the pavers? i was thinking about woodchips or maybe pea gravel but i think that would just result in the neighborhood kids making a mess.... i need something that can be buried in 3 feet of snow and that wont be shoveled away too lol.

Nope. Typically any aggregate you put in a muddy area is just going to sink in the mud when it gets wet. Concrete, pavers, or this stuff. "Grass road pavers" Pretty cool.
