its just like a rear engine exotic car, the passengers protect the high dollar engine parts in the event of a collision

My son in law is 6"4" and weighs well over 300 pounds. The fridge was strapped to a dolly and the dolly was strapped to all 4 cargo loops in the bed. He was back there to help steady it and more importantly, to holler if he thought I should stop. I also said I kept it down to 20 mph.

He was permanently banned almost a year ago! Not sure what the real reason was but I know he continuosuly ruffled feathers around here. Kind of miss him actually. (in a non-homosexual way of course..... not that there's anything wrong with that )

Someday we'll crack open a beer and I'll tell you younguns about watching the wind get under the tarp covering my 80" couch and lifting it up, and out of the 4' walls on my trailer on 94 outside of Detroit one frigid November day. It completely cleared the car behind us before ending up in the median in a big blue ball.

Good times.

Too bad it wasn't on the same highway as Jamz's incident. You could have had the couch to watch his fridge hit the pavement
