This is the kind of helpful advice I was looking for!

Oh hell yes, back in the day, back on the farm, we could haul a bunch of kids by loading them through the back of the vehicle -

Yep, the brake cleaner will knock them down - YOU DON'T NEED TO LIGHT IT AND BURN THE HOUSE DOWN -

(just in case we have some really stupid readers out there -

At least it is a "stealth" skip, unless of course there are only 2 persons in the restaurant.

I'm pretty sure in the case of Taylor Swift mentioned above it was one of the employees that had played the songs.

I miss riding in the back of a pickup. Did it ALL the time as a kid, even on long trips. Given none of my parents vehicles had AC it was by far the best place to be. We had one where my Dad created a removable mount for the rear seat out of a junkyard Cadillac. Sort of a redneck (and more comfortable) Subaru Brat in the back of a full size Ford pickup.

Riding in style, that's what that was.

I was thinking more along the lines of this. Brake cleaner and a lighter are a bit hard on paint. The 20ft range may be a bit overkill for spike021 though.

Now I know why there have been spider-eating wasps building nests right outside my doorway:

Me, I'm partial to rumble seats.

Dadhawk · 07-05-2023, 02:25 PM

...and of course the list wouldn't be complete without the rear facing station wagon seat..

Heck, we did that in our '57 Chevy wagon before that third seat was a thing. Seems we always had pillows, blankets and rolled up sleeping bags back there. Maybe because we were in perpetual camping mode.

Yep, the good ol fun days. I remember a trip I made with my cousin in the back of an old pickup driven by my uncle. We went from Blanchester, Ohio to Beckley, West Virginia. We amused ourselves by throwing rocks at road signs. We would re-load when he stopped for gas. A WV state patrol stopped us once and told my uncle to tell us to quit doing that -

Yep, I remember my parents had one of those. My dad built a large carrier for the top of it and our family of 6 took off on a 4 week western trip. I claimed most of the rear facing seat and made believe I wasn't with the rest of the family -
