Like that's going to happen! You can't even get those suckers started!

At least not without help from the entire CR4 forum, and a super haircut while sitting in a Koken Barber chair (also diagnosed by CR4)!

even going downhill... maybe

But if it does happen,..... its because you stepped in a black hole and found yourself in an alternate universe where everyone drives a cavalier.

If this really is "Grandma", she sure as all heck has a heavy white beard that "she's" wearing on her chinny, chin, chin. Therefore, if "she" really is Grandma (complete with beard), then logic would explain that "she" is being economically transported fairly safely to the latest State fair around those parts of the the Southern U.S. states, as the ugliest bearded lady, to be displayed in the "sideshow", that y'all ever laid your redneck eyeballs on, y'all! Me thinks that its a dude, y'all. Still funny, tho!,..not as funny for the wheelchair, tho!!!

To spot cop cars, my truck came with a removable rear lookout seat that can spin in any direction, and it doubles as an excuse to use handicapped parking.
