Small car minimalism

The small car. Two doors. Tiny trunk. Small cupholders.

I have gone all minimalistic in my Audi A4 Cab.

After having many large, throw 4 golf bags in the hatch vehicle, get the chocolate lab in the back and two car seats,  I am now reduced to a zen approach to manage my car life.

Going to the driving range? Kids, pick two clubs. Thats all we can fit.

Dropping a box off at the post office? Do it now, 'cuz otherwise can't get my child in the backseat.

Grocery shopping? 4 reusable bags fit exactly in the trunk. Choose wisely at the store.

It has been refreshing to not buy 'that rug' as I know it won't fit in my car. It is calming to realize I can say no to energy sucks as I don't have the space. Costco? You are dead to me.

Everyone should try a small car once just as everyone needs to have gone camping. It is a form of "roughing it" that leaves you feeling balanced.
