I took side streets at 25 MPH because the headlights were pointing way high and the (manual) steering could have been power steering. I probably should have put down the second seat and shifted the load forward, but I was already tired enough as it was. Those shingles stayed in the car overnight.
Farrk.
Was a time I had a boarder. He was a gardener and had a small nursery in the back yard, which was very handy. I bought a 6x4 trailer so we could take plants to Sunday flea markets. I never learned to reverse. Are you familiar with the term "jack knife"? Well it did that, and sliced open the back door. Embarrassing and expensive.
