Hi Dory!
I got a good chuckle out of your reply!
Actually, the kid I referred to was 17, but kind of small for his age. After he crawled into the cargo space, I packed pillows all around him along with the cargo net to keep him enclosed... kind of a car seat for grown-ups maybe?

Always fascinated by people who see a sudden jump in mpg, true test is long range, not momentary.
But then some people want to trade after a week, because the window sticker lied...

Taking heed of good advice
Hi Black Beauty,
Point well taken about a rear-end accident. Stuffing Patrick in the cargo hold was a one-time thing so that we didn't have to take 2 cars on the trip. Gas at the time was going for $3.29 a gallon........but you are right, and his life is worth far more than the price of gas. We sure were blessed that we didnt have an accident that day, and I have no plans to try that again!
