2TB server.

Full wardrobe including several suits.
A computer desk.
Printer.
Speaker system.
Various books and binders.
A firearm.
Bedding and pillow.
Flight crew case.
Protein powder!
A toolbox.
Computer chair.
I bought a new memory foam bed off Amazon at the new place I moved to ($400 total), shipped to my door to arrive the same day I did.
The rear compartment was still only half full, front seat area empty, and I didn't remove the subwoofer. I could have stuffed a folded mattress in there as well, but it would have covered my rear view mirror.
It is great to be single! The best part about the move was that I only had to carry about 5-6 items in, sort-of a modular setup. All the clothing in a roof top bag, other stuff in two rolling suitcases in the rear, the bicycle on the hitch. Very clean.
People who buy a larger car for "when we need the room", should ask themselves if they are hoarders.

hoarding is becoming encouraged, as is taking the easiest possible route to do something, even if it is the most expensive by far.
