I wonder if this 8 drawer roll away tool box will fit in my passenger side with the seat out... I'm about to find out. My truck I was going to borrow is now being used by someone else. I know engine blocks fit, so surely a 42"x26"x18" box will fit.

I was outside last night when those crazy storms hit, scary ****. I can honestly say when lightning was hitting within 200yds and several trees snapped like a 90yr old's hip, I started to wonder if we were going to be a story on the news. My GF and I were at an amphitheater for a show and eventhough we were in the pit and under the roof, it did little good. Several trees on the property went down, lightning hitting on the property and branches flying through the air sideways. But that wasn't what scared me, it was the roof of the building lifting up and down on the steel crossbeams that really got my spider senses tingling...and I started having flashes of the whole damn thing coming down as the winds (the fun straight-line variety) had to have been in the neighborhood of 70-80mph+. I will pass on being outside in that kinda **** again.

I was inside the rack room at *** Radio (Birmingham) when it hit, and we got an EAS alert on WZZK.
Which confirmed that the 162.550 receiver is finally working properly! Our first actual EAS relay!
(Yes, it takes an odd breed to be excited about hearing a severe weather alert.)

We had a storm? Really? When was this?

"Yes sir, your 8 drawer roll away toolbox ordered on the 11th is here. Just pull up down stairs and they will load it into your truck for you..."
I'm gonna roll up in my little gay Miata and they are probably going to give me the WTF look.

(I had already removed the pax seat and brought a half-dozen ratcheting straps with me to secure the load.)
He was impressed when it all went in and the door closed. Top was down, of course.

I got that look when the guy at Harbor Freight wheeled out my newly purchased engine hoist and engine stand several years ago; three pretty large boxes (and one small box) on one of those big push-carts.

Finally the head lady came out and said NO! Take it back in, that's a liability. You'll have to come back with a truck sir. I had a truck, but the one ******* day I need it, someone else has to borrow it and now I don't have it...My Miata has let me down today.
