Small Car FAIL- Just Tie it To The Roof Edition
In Romania the cars are small, and apparently the drywall is big. This of course goes against the speculation that if you can afford a home with high ceilings, you can also afford the Home Dacia delivery service.
The bad thing is, if he runs into something, he’ll just have to go back and get more drywall. Note that either they park on the sidewalks there, or the cars are scattering in his path.

I fail to see anything wrong with that, he's clearly doing just fine.
If you drive it like a sail boat.
Or a submarine.

"Be careful Ryan, shome things in there don't react well to bulletsh."
Sure would be a shitty time for the GPS to flake out.
clearly he thought that if he ran into another vehicle, it would just drive over the roofline. the sheets make a perfect ramp
Coming to YouTube soon…
It never hurts to have a couple of extra 2x4s around, so I would suggest to this guy that the next time he buys something without any structural integrity, he purchase a couple of 2x4s to support the roof load.
He might want to keep a laptop and a webcam handy, velcro the webcam to the top of the roof/drywall panels and the laptop to the console and voila.
He was going to rent a Zipcar but all of the trucks were in use by the local harlots
My grandfather believed steadfastly that anything could be strapped to the roof of and safely transported by damn near any car. Drywall/paneling atop a '78 Fairmont, A roomful of rolled-up carpeting riding a '86 Celebrity or a heavy, vintage 7-foot couch perched precariously atop a '84 Citation*, if you could think it, he could haul it. Truck? We don't need no stinkin' truck.
*Incidentally, he swore the extra 100 rooftop pounds didn't hurt the Citation's performance. Given that he tossed it off into a ditch shortly thereafter, I'm wondering if the couch didn't help things considerably.

Well, y'see, that's just ridiculous. Everyone knows that's a job better suited to a 1991 Dodge Dynasty.
What would you carry siding on then?
I'd say a bright red 2003 Dodge Neon purchased on a whim because the saleslady was wearing a very low-cut top. The sunroof adds extra tie-down points, y'know.
Guys, you've got it all wrong. This isn't a guy getting drywall home, it's a portable skate park. It's supposed to be like that!
I'm pretty sure that's a Hyundai Santa Fe, making that some really big drywall.
Still, as someone who's wedged a mountain bike in the back of a Ford Escort (with the front wheel on), I salute this guy for doing far more with his car than its size would dictate.
Now my reply to this depends on what kind of scort that was.
Hatchback or Wagon: piece of cake
Sedan: How'd you pull that off? fold down the seats and stuff part of it into the trunk?
Sedan – it took about 5-10 minutes of maneuvering the thing into the back seat. I can't remember if I had to roll down a window for one of the handlebars, but it fit.
I think the only thing that could be worse is a second gen VW Bug.

Nice reference!
In all my days I've never seen flexible drywall. Thats not a small car… I think it's a Santa Fe…
That looks like a TrailBlazer, possibly a Isuzu Ascender, on the same chassis.
This reminds me of the Enterprise Rent-A-Car commercials. Not sure why.
C'mon guys, he's just trying to improve the aerodynamics. Everyone knows that the teardrop shape is best. Right?
