What kind of vehicles do you use to haul equipment to the shows you do?  I am a mobile DJ and I found the perfect vehicle, and they don't cost an arm and a leg. As I DJ car shows, this is perfect for me...2007 HHR Panel.

No picture, but 2007 Ford Explorer.  Good for groceries (wife) and car parts (my other hobby).

I sing the song "Mercury Blues" with feeling, because I love my 2002 Mercury Grand Marquis.

I have three different gig setups (even though I am an amateur who has done a little more than a dozen all time). The big one fits if I am not expected to carry passengers -- the car has a very, very, large trunk.

The little one fits in three gig bags, and can fit in my wife's little car.

When I buy my next car I am going to buy a cargo trailer at the same time, and use that. This way I won't burn all the gas of a big rig when I am not hauling stuff (since I don't do it often), and I can store the trailer in my barn with the big equipment already in it.

Had tis for a couple years.  Found it for $300 bucks.  Didn't run when I got it & the gal didn't want to bother thinking it was going to be something major - set of spark plugs later & it ran for 3 years before I sold it for $1500.  That was the time I sold all my mobile equipment as well.

This is what i used to haul my stuff in, I still have the car. I just didn't want to beat up an old car any more hauling a couple hundred pounds of equipment. mckyj, I used to have a 84 Grand Marquis (think it's the same as your 2002 underneath) and yes they do have commodious trunks. I think my business cars need to reflect the car culture coolness, so I stayed away from the usual SUV or mini-van.(I would like to keep my testicles, thank you)

I am not sure how to put a picture here of my rig, but I always drive my 2003 Dodge 1500 Quad Cab pickup (champaign color) and pull a big enclosed trailer behind it.  We can put all the band's gear inside and go.  Of course, even though I have a quad cab, I still cant carry the whole band with me, they always drive their own vehicles.  I love my pickup but what would you expect from a Texas cowboy! --Mike

We call those station wagons "woodies" around these parts.

Post subject:  Re: What do you drive your equipment in?

We call'em that here as well. Atleast now I don't have to listen to the wags at car shows saying I'm out playing with my "woodie"

I'm fortunate enough to be able to store my gear at my venue, but I use a 2003 Aztec (seats removed) when I need to haul to another location.

1993 GMC Suburban with the back seay removed.  Works great to haul my wife and five kids around, too.  But not at the same time.  My kids don't like to be strapped to the luggage rack.   LMAO

1995 Grand Voyager, lots of room, old enough it doesn't matter if it gets beat up, good on gas and most important.......paid for. I am allergic to car payments of any type.

My ride is a 1993 Lincoln Town Car, full hat on top, red leather interior, all black exterior, HUMONGOUS trunk, just like the Marquis, with the air ride so weight isn't a problem. Just went over 97,000 miles and still purrs and looks REAL pretty too.
