Default 330 lbs of Mountain Dew in CR-Z

Just figured someone would get a kick out of this...





33 cases of 12 12oz cans. 396 cans. Roughly 330 lbs. ~ 17,000 grams of sugar.

CR-Z hauled it all with no issues whatsoever. I reset trip B and even got 46 MPG on the 7 mile trip home. Almost couldn't tell I had anything.

I generally get the 36 can cube cases, but it's good to know we can hold a lot of dew! I know I drink at least a case a week.

Actually, I bought all of this dew at Lowes. They have it for $2.50 per 12-pack. Wal-mart is the next cheapest at $4.70 for the 12-pack and $6.80 for the 24-pack. So, was cost effective to buy a lot at Lowes since its a while-supplies-last type sale.

In Idaho you can get Diet Mountain Dew. You can get Code Red Mountain Dew. However, in the state of Idaho (Oregon and now Utah), you CAN NOT get Diet Code Red Mountain Dew.

Just for general knowledge purposes.

With 400lbs load rating, I hope you weigh close to 70lbs

Honestly it surprised me when I saw that my 1800lbs Elise has the same load rating as a 2600lbs CR-Z (that's also is a 4-seater in some areas).

Nice cheap way to lower the car! If you strap a moose to the hood you'll have the Oct Car-of-the-Month winner.
