Funny thing, it took about 4 tries with the tape measure to realize it was never fitting in my car and had to get the ex-wife to help me drive it home. Thank god for a PT Cruiser. Those things are so much bigger then people give them credit for.

I remember when my Stepdad bought a 65" Toshiba DLP 1080p, trying to stuff it in the back of a 2007 Chevy Tahoe. Just to realize it's to big with the stand, lol. But we stuffed it in there and tied the lift gate down, it did not close all the way. We also had to take the tv out of the box, lol.
