  How the HELL do you fit a Symbolics machine in a
trunk???  The car was a "Kombi", sorry I don't know the english
expression.

 How do you call this type of car?  
   Lines & O's?  An ASCII-mobile?  ;)
   I think you have a "station wagon".  A very important piece of
   equipment for the collector. 
Actually, the Kombi stands a bit taller than a station wagon, 
but doesn't sit as high above the road as an SUV... IIRC...
sort-of a cross between them, with some genes from a VW Microbus
and Land Rover thrown in (although Kombis predate the Microbus)...

I'm told many are outfitted for camping excursions.
