<<<<< If you own a pickup for any time at all you'll learn this lesson
real quick.>>>>
I learned that lesson with a great big, crushed velvet chair (70's
vintage... pure retro!) I was hauling to my friend's house. Hit the
brakes a little hard and "THUMP!"... I now am the proud owner of a great
big dent in the front of my bed.... whoopee... if anyone wants one just
like it, I can send you instructions.. =0)
