That's impressive Mike. I had to look up the car to check, do you fold the seat for that ? can you still carry a passenger, suitcases tents and extra stuff ? I was more thinking along the lines ( far in future ) when I do get a big Dob, which I would use a lot less it would be a truss design, 16 inch or so, and the 10 inch or a new 12 inch at some point as the most often used weapon at home, & some shorter local trips. Current car is a 90s Ford KA, tiny thing :) Couple of years I...

.. can get something slightly bigger.

With my 12" the scope once collapsed was very manageable, it's the base that's big actually. With the 14", it's probably a similar story with the tube, but the difference you can take the yet bigger base apart and put it back together in no time. So, haven't made up my mind completely...still subject to my observing position and finances.
