RE: Hauler
My '03 Pontiac Vibe (eq to Toyota Matrix) works great for solo trips with a single 2M. The front passenger seat folds flat. If I wanted to haul people too, this thing's pretty roomy, and can handle a small trailer. I haven't done it but knew another guy who hauled a couple of dirt bikes with his. If you have removeable stabs, you could easily fit a couple of 2M's, and take one passenger riding tandem behind the driver.
