Behind the seats
Not wanting to spend $200+ for the rear shelf bag for my SL500 I kept a look out for something that would fit and not break the bank. It's to be used just for overnight clothes, nothing heavy duty.
Went into a "Five Below" store today and found an under the bed storage unit. It's light duty for sure but fits perfectly and is good enough for light travel and all for the overwhelming price of $5. Go for it.

Yep, I hear ya --- but I'm not that much of a purist.

Although I really like this car what it carries is inconsequential to me as long as it gets the job done.

Enjoy the ride.
