Here’s my 147 lb Prizewinner fruit after squeezing it into the front passenger seat of my car before taking it to my Dad’s the day before Halloween. The front passenger seat was the only opening in the car I could fit it through. It was such a tight squeeze if it were any bigger I probably wouldn’t have been able to get it in there. The pumpkin plus the piece of plywood it was sitting on totaled 159 lbs. The night before, I weighed myself and I weighed 160, so I was moving my own weight basically. I was going to have someone help me but everyone else decided to leave so I had to do it myself. Since it had already been sat next to the driveway I positioned my car so that I could make a ramp with two steel posts straight from the fruit to the front seat. I then dragged and pushed the pumpkin and the piece of wood up the makeshift ramp into the front seat. This was easier said than done. By the time I was done I was red in the face and breathing hard. I need to work out more, lol.
