<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hey Terry,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I'm having a hard time deciding on a =
new-to-me
vehicle. I've had station wagons and sedans. The last Mazda =
626 I
owned had back seats that folded down fairly flat and with low =
&
wide enough trunk access so I could slide a grand action in while it was =
still
mounted on the luggage rack I use for moving them around. =
With this
car (96 Camry--good sized trunk), I have to put the action in the back =
seat (a D
action *just* fits), placed on top of boxes to clear the door arm rests
and pillows wedged between the action and the front seats. I =
always
need help getting it in and out of the car. Yesterday one of the =
stage
hands came out to help me. I told him how we would have to tilt =
the action
to get it out and warned him it was heavy. I went around to the =
other side
of the car to guide the action on its way out and was prepared to =
run back
to help with the lifting. Man, he took hold of that action =
like it
was a piece of cardboard and stood there holding it and looking at me =
with a
look on his face that I read as "Did you say you thought this was =
heavy?"

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I like having a sedan--if only I could =
get one with
a built in stage hand, or perhaps I could grow 8-10 inches taller for =
better
leverage. :-)</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hi Barbara,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Sorry to hear about your bad =
experiences. After
busting windows out of almost every car I have ever owned (why don't =
they make
cars with those little corner vent windows anymore?), I finally bought =
a
new-to-me car ('92 Lincoln Town Car - you can put your whole shop =
in the
trunk!) that has one of those electronic keypads on the door. =
