I "heard about" someone in college doing the clown car routine in a Suburban. Ran out of people before the space ran out. 18 on board if I recall. And again in a CRX. 10 bodies in that one, a real accomplishment! Thankfully no injuries like the above story.
20?? Wow-Tahoes are 14" shorter than Suburbans- maybe 15 cubic feet more volume. I assume these folks were illegals?? Walked across border-met vehicle-being smuggled N?? HORRIBLE
