Although filling an entire trunk full of peanut butter, let’s say 500kg worth (assume a 450 litre trunk and density of 1.1 kg/l according to Google), then adding all that weight over the rear axle would affect the handling and balance of the car, potentially making it dangerous and therefore illegal to drive.
So, it’s not actually that clear cut that it wouldn’t be illegal!
That reminds me:
My mom’s from way out in the country. The first and only time she was stopped on suspicion of drunk driving was when she had an entire butchered pig from her parents in the back of her station car making it swerve.
And that was less than 1/4 the weight of that peanut butter collection 😄
Who is buying a car that can’t safely transport 500kg of peanut butter at any given moment??? Come on people need that trunkbutt on the go
Most SUVs cannot handle the weight, let alone a car. A typical SUV will allow for 200-300 lbs in the trunk. At least according to the GVWR and with 2 passengers.
Obviously all serious car buyers shop for sexy, maneuverable dump trucks.
Whoever is down voting me should actually go out and check what the GVWR of their vehicle is and the curb weight + fuel and passengers. It’s surprisingly low even for a full sized SUV unless you own a body on frame SUV. Sure you can exceed the GVWR but you are potentially endangering others on the road with increased braking distances and poor handling.
I like to imagine that it’s not jars of peanut butter. Just raw peanut butter, sloshing around when it’s warm.
I got a bunch of free Coca-Cola once, and some dude at taco bell overheard me say something about “all the coke I have in my trunk”. He then tried to sell me some of his coke.
Does someone with a trunk full of coke really need the taco bell guy’s supply anyway?
Is this peanut butter in little jars, big jars, bags, or just shoveled in like one giant trunk tub of creamy peanut butter?
