A portable lift would be great to lift heavy bags of compost from the garden centre's trolley and into the boot, then effortlessly out of the boot and into the shed. But then I think that maybe far-fetched.
An alternative to a portable lift is someone strong. At the moment, that's me, but at some point, I'll rely on my 5ft 2in wife!!😳

Afraid we're already there! My once super strong 6ft 2 husband now has to rely on me who's 5ft 3. This is after me being cossetted for decades, not being allowed to lift anything heavy, let alone being trusted with the drill or even the lawn mower . How things change, it's certainly no fun getting old, it's now a matter of less brawn and more brain power. The change hurts him a lot more than it hurts me though.
The solution to taller plants in the back footwell falling over is of course to buy enough plants that the pots fill the space and wedge each other in position
For the boot I have a plastic sheet thing that collects any muck, and if I know I'm going to be getting bedding plants in trays or smaller pots I take a plastic tray (without holes) that I have in the garden. Or get a cardboard bow or plastic tray from the garden centre - they usually give them away.

The cars with a window in the roof used to be handy for tall plants. Why don't they make them like that anymore? Apart from the odd conker landing on your head, they were great in mild weather.

When air-conditioning in cars came in, sunroofs mostly went out. The last car I had with a sunroof used to leak in wet weather . Not a great design in the UK.

We had two with them. Neither ever leaked. I never think to use AC. I just open a window.
I always insist on closing the windows when on fast roads. It reduces the drag, and therefore reduces fuel consumption. My wife insists on a window being open on slow roads. Since she's the driver, but I pay the bills, it's a suitable compromise.😇
