Stupid Trick

I would have preferred to remain ignorant about this, but this morning, I discovered that if you put a child's booster seat on top of the folded (down) top, when you put the top up, it (instead of falling off) ends up on top of the car. I further discovered that I can go around 4 (right, left, right, right) corners without losing it. I discovered that it doesn't fall off until I shift into 3rd gear. Luckily, no damage to the back of the car due to this idiotic stunt.

Stupid trick, yes...cool, yes. Good thing the little one wasn't in the booster seat at the time.

I'm reminded of "Raising Arizona" sans kid in the seat.

LOL kinda like the TV Show/Movie "JackA$$" - That had to have been funny to see; but really though, all the way to 3rd gear - Wow! No one must have ran it over either while tryin to flag ya down "YER KID'S ON TOP OF YOUR CAR!!!!"

Okay now try it again, but with a cup of coffee (a couple of times in my previous car, I left my coffee on the roof and drove away. Doh!).
