Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites MF42 0 #33 August 10, 2006 A car's youth is no guarantee of being curse free. I say we properly exorcise all its gremlins by allowing that car to experience the joy of flight. Would it be possible to sit in the car as it rolls off the tailgate, then bail out and pull? Please say it's a convertible! If it isn't a convertible, ten minutes and a sawz-all will fix that problem.
