Default You know your'e crazy when......

You load up your Corvette with huge banana plants! I really need a truck.


My friend has a huge mat of Musa Paradisiaca he was thinning out. I already have a nice mat of them but there is always room for more plants! Thankfully, this is not my nice car. I don't even let my kids eat or drink in them.

Very nice plants! Apparently Musa Paradisiaca is a general name for bananas. You don't know what variety they are?

I got mine from Rancho Soledad Nursery a few years back. They called it Musa Paradisiaca. The plants get very tall 15 plus feet. The trunk and leaves have a whitish flim on them. I have seen them fruit with smallish fruit. It doesn't get real warm here so the fruit may not have been mature. i will try to post a picture of my mat. They are huge!

It is a nice car but like all things nice I replaced it with nicer cars. I don't have a truck other than my wifes Jeep which really isn't a truck. I don't haul stuff in these two cars.

Supercharged Z06 with offroad headers and lots of mods that makes 670 horse power.


V12 twin turbo CL600 AMG Mercedes with mods that makes 650 horse power. I'm addicted to speed!

Just think of how fast you could have gotten your new bananas home in your nice cars...

Very nice cars! The more tuned cars are,the more i like them! Personally i would still fill them with bananas and plants when i wanted to move something! Although not as ''nice'' and expensive as your cars,i fill our Mercedes AMG ML350 to the brim with plants every time i go to Pyrgos! Looking from the inside mirror,you see a rainforest swaying A good clean up afterwords and its as good as new again!

Thank you! I kept my 89 Corvette so I didn't have to get the other two dirty. My two daughters and I go to car shows and events with the other cars. Keeping them really nice gives me the impression that they are new every time I use them. We had a ML350 and it was able to hold a lot of stuff! The AMG just makes it much more fun. My wifes Jeep is also good for packing up with crap. Since I clean it I can dirty it! I'm moving to Hawaii in June and will need a truck to haul stuff.
