My pal Kurt, with whom I pretty much always travel for out of state cons, is a WIZARD at cramming luggage into vehicles. He must use a freaking Bag of Holding or something, because it should have been physically impossible for all that stuff AND five guys to fit into that van.

(Historical Notes: You wouldn’t think it, but this is actually one of the LESSER reasons I’ve been cutting down on my convention travel distances.  It’s definitely A reason, but a lesser one)
