Cans in a car
As with my MIT collection, I was determined to give these 1819 cans a proper send-off. I ultimately settled on trying to fill my car. I drive a little Hyundai Accent; without doing any calculations, I was worried the cans wouldn't all fit. So, I made sure the car the completely empty---even the glove box. However, by the time the trunk was full, it was apparent that there was more than enough room for all 1819 Dr Pepper cans. In fact, the vehicle was quite safe for travel with two people sitting in front, after the application of some plastic bags and tape along the sides of the front seats to prevent the cans from flying forward. The only difference between before and after driving was that fewer cans were neatly stacked.
Thanks goes to Krista, whose stacking skills and conversation made filling the car go much faster.
