Gee, it was just a bicycle. I was hoping the trunk lid was open because of the extra-large cooler.

That's a weak hill compared to Tom and Becky's driveway and the Crown Vic with the cooler made it up there.
And if I remember correctly... a car load of people.

I was waiting for the parallel parking tricks on the other hill at the end.

If you try this or anything with a Jeep, make sure you fill up first... and carry a refill can.  Last Saturday, I was driving a rental 2010 Jeep Patriot and had a couple of hours to kill before my flight from Manchester embarked, and so I decided to visit a friend in Kennebunkport, figuring that 1/4 tank was plenty.  I ran out of gas 10 miles east of Manchester.  I have since discovered that the gas tank in a 2010 Jeep Patriot only holds 13.6 gallons, and 1/4 of 13.6 gallions is not much.

First, I looked for a red button to push so the link would get out of the way but it went away on it's own, thank goodness because there wasn't a red button.  My second thought was, I hope he doesn't run the dog over.  :o
Oh yeah, and then my 3rd thought was why does he have his trunk open but then I saw the bike in there.  :D

I once test-drove a 1980 GMC with a hopped-up 350, granny-low 4-speed, and 4.11 rearend. Oh, and it only had an 11 gallon tank.

People joke about being able to see the gas gauge move, but it was literally true in that truck.

Real tax resisters walk.   ^-^

And crown Vic - pigmobile with RWD and a V8 that's weaker than many good V6's.

My fancy decision matrix for economical winter driving recommends a Saabaru.

But I've always been a Chrysler 300 kinda guy.
