Reminds me of when I was a kid and borrowing Dad's Dodge as he always had the trunk well stocked w/ assorted tools and spare parts also jugs of coolant, window juice, an old WW2 folding shovel, a bag-o-sand...it was all there even a roll of toilet paper!. It took only one 'trouble session' the morning after borrowing his car to learn how to always stop on my way home and reorganize the trunk stuff that had slid and bounced around during a night of road-running, doing donuts etc!. Funny but my brother never seemed to pick up on this trick and was often banished from car use as a result...also some poor tech at the local front end shop did a few free alignments too as Dad would complain and point out the outside tire wear...little did they know that old 318 Polara held the unofficial midnight lap record at Mosport through my learning years, just slightly ahead of Mom's Rambler!.
