Having detailed my wife's car yesterday (SUV NOT minivan) I can assure you its a shit show. I'll be putting the min shop vac on my Father's Day list as well, I have a 16 gallon and found out its a bitch rolling it around my inclined driveway
Wonder why car companies have been reluctant to include them? Seems like a no brainer to me.
My car has so much extra room in das boot around the spare I ended up fitting a great deal of stuff that was in my cargo area, under my cargo area. Had my shackles, tow straps, cordage, trash bags, emergency rain suit, flares, first aid kit all rolling around on the top deck. Now it's all stowed away out of sight. Plenty of room to fit a full size spare if the cheap ass bean counters would of allowed it.
