Trunk space

I saw the wife of one of my friends at the wedding I went to yesterday. He wasn't there, he was out to sea. Anyway, she had never seen the car but had heard all about it and wanted to take a look. We walked out to the car and she was admiring it. She says "Well it is an awfully small car but it looks like it has a big trunk." (It is the female shopping gene that generates that kind of response.) I say "Let me show you." and pop the lid. She peers down in there and sees that 2/3's of the space under the lid is occupied by an engine. She kind of scratches her head and says "Well what is in the front?" (Again, looking for a place to stash all the treasure pirated from the department store) I pop the lid and she sees the spare tire. At that point the car gets downgraded from awesome to "nice".
