Yes, I would have had to unpack the items in the trunk to get at the spare tire. I barely had enough money to pay for diesel there and back, let alone renting or buying a trailer.
Trust me, the only reason I overloaded my car like that is because I have no job, no source of income other than selling used Mercedes parts, a mountain of debt, and the mortgage company gave me only a few weeks to retrieve my spare parts, otherwise they would have been disposed of.
I think that when people have a steady income, they forget what it's like for the rest of us that live in harder times. I wanted to rent a small moving truck, but I couldn't afford that, so it was either drive my car up there and load what I could, or lose all my spare parts (new old stock taillights, parts I need for future repairs, rare stuff that I would probably never find or be able to afford again).
A trailer would have cost more than I paid for my car, LOL.
