The Shooting Brake concept evolved a century ago from European gentlemen wishing to have enough room for their guns when they were going hunting or to shooting contests yet at the same time drive their sports cars. A "shooting brake" is a modified two door coupe with an estate-wagon back crafted, rather than grafted, on.What a wonderful idea! I want one. I'd, uh, carry groceries in the back. Yeah it's for groceries dear. Thats the ticket.
On a more practical note, carrying firearms in a car like this might be troublesome in the states. (The shooting brake seems a Euro thing.) Some firearms transportation laws direct you to store guns unloaded and locked out of reach. Your car's trunk is great for this. A small car with a hatchback is much less ideal. This is part of the reason my current car is a sedan, by the way.
