^^ The inside of the car obviously can't get snow all over it. +K for helpful answers

If youre buying supplies for a drop-in or something, you can use the trucks at home depot or lowes. We've done that a couple of times and you dont need to make multiple trips back and forth.

Make sure to put tarps or trash bags or something on the bottom of your trunk just incase a leak

put in to small plastic sealable bags and push inside anus, due the rectal heat it will most likely melt but its your only shot at getting it past the feds

1. Garbage pails in trunk of vehicle. (If you have enough room in the trunk)

2. Put a tarp down in the trunk of the vehicle and then just pile as much snow as you can on the tarp. (Be careful not to overload the car.)

For maximum style points, haul it with llamas.

Rent a uhaul box truck. Pretty cheap for a single day rental.

It would really suck to get shut down by the police after all that effort/money though

coolers. they're smaller so they fit in the trunk better, insulated, and wont leak. The only downside is you might need a few trips.

I was assuming the snow is for an urban feature. If you got the urban feature build then had to leave it would suck because you spent all the money getting the snow for the feature.

tons of trash and recycle bins in my neighbors minivan with the seats down always worked for me in the pre pickup days

Its less than $30 to use the truck for a day. And probably going to be a lot more effort loading up garbage cans and making multiple trips or whatever the other method is.

From my experience with summer set ups the more ice rink snow you can get the better. Well worth the $30 in my mind.

If you cant get a truck, line the cargo space of your vehicle with a tarp. That way you can probably just slide most of it out as a unit, and you'll be able to fit more in than with bins. Or try and find a small trailer.I guess you could use one of those roof boxes if you have one.

Wow, I never thought I'd see a thread about something so fucking stupid. "uhh how do I like have snow in my car without it getting wet?"

I DON'T KNOW, MAYBE USE SOME FABRIC OR STORAGE CONTAINER THAT'S WATERPROOF!?

There was once a really really old edit where Colby West put the snow in garbage bags and then put them in his ski box on top of his car.

theyre also great for making igloos and holding all your recyclables until your neighborhood pick up date.

dont blow out your suspension by using a car, rent a truck, or get a hitch put on for a hundred bucks. A small old trailer is ideal, put spot lights, drop in, generator, winch, and logo on said trailer for ultimate satisfaction. hmmmmmm, maybe i should sell traveling circus on this idea!!!!
