ship my car with 300 lbs. items loaded

Hey guys, I shipped my baby Evo yesterday as I am moving from Chicago to San Francisco. I am worrying about my baby because I put a suitcase weighed 100 lbs in the trunk and 200 lbs items on the back seats. And my baby will be sitting in front of my uncle's house for 3 month. I was wondering if those items can damage my rear shocks.

Any help will be highly appreciated!!!

Don't trip, you'll be fine. If you were worried, I would just ask your uncle to take the items out... unless he's forbidden to touch it or something lol

When I was getting married I had to haul my bride's possessions 400 miles. For one load I pulled the back seat and after the trunk was full, piled stuff to the headliner. The car drove like it was empty.

Baby, don't worry about your baby. I mean if I babied my baby with all that little baby weight it wouldn't hurt anything in my baby. So stop being a baby and put all the weight in your baby that you want. You baby.

Suitcase filled with 100 lbs? Is there a chopped up dead body in there or something?

Good luck driving your evo in SF. Your car will drink gas on the hills and you have to learn to avoid the steep hills with a stop sign at the top LOL. Hope you don't have a twindisk or solid hub clutch.

Thank you sir, could you recommend a shop that could help me pass the emission test and retune my car?
