Lisa: My Petition for More Space

What do you do if the cars available to you are either too small or too decrepit to use for a road trip? Do you take two tiny cars, and separate the roadtrip participants into two groups? Do you try to buy and install a roof rack cargo carrier apparatus on one of the tiny cars, in an effort to free up space inside? Do you rent a larger vehicle (to the tune of $500-$700, effectively negating the practically-free nature of the road trip)?

And what if you want to stop at IKEA at some point on the trip, to purchase many flat-packed but still awkwardly-sized items?
