Silly Big Screen Question..

We are getting  46" TV tonight and it dawned on us that it's not going to fit in either of our cars [a Focus and a Neon], so humor me... 

How did you guys get your TV home? 

We're going to borrow my Dad's truck, but it got me to thinking, because I can't imagine everyone who owns a big screen driving a big vehicle LOL.

I got my 32" online and it was shipped to me. Depending on the store you bought it from, they may even deliver.

It's from WalMart, so no delivery option and he wants it yesterday, so we can't order online.  Boys and their toys :P

Haha I completely understand. You could also fold down your back seats so it fits in the trunk/back? That's how we transported skis and stuff.

I hadn't thought of that!  Luckily we can borrow a truck.  I wonder how people with sports cars do it LOL

we had ours delivered. I bought it in the store and they delivered for free.

Our 46 inch fits in the backseat of my Civic. We had to take it out of the box to get in in there, but it fit.

We bought TWO 32" LCD's a few years ago on Black Friday from Circuit City. I still can't believe we spent the night in front of the store to get them. DH was able to fit them both in the backseat area of a Mustang! There was just enough room for him to drive right up on the steering wheel. It was very dangerous, but it was only 10 min away from home. I couldn't ride like that (my legs are longer than his), so I chose to stay behind at the store. I offered to keep one of the tv's with me, but he already had them packed in there and didn't want me to have to stand guard. It was a crazy morning!

We still had the Mustang when we got our 52", but that time we just made a phone call to a friend with a Murano (CUV) and he was able to fit it easily. We now have an Altima and I believe it would fit in our new car with the seats folded down.

Wow, these are awesome.  I had no clue you could put two 32" in a Mustang!!  LOL.

It's up and on the wall.  I was surprised at how lite it was.  Only weighs 56 pounds.  That seems light.

We don't even have a car!  

It probably won't work for you, but when we bought ours we just borrowed a dolly from the shop and wheeled it home on foot!
