dog's water bowl where the lid might come off; nursery plant pots
which have drainage holes in them thus allowing water and/or dirt to
escape

I guess I live a sheltered life! I gotta get out some more.

It is my wife's car and she is a library bookie. Most of what she hauls
there is tons of books. Most of them are dry ;-)

I use my 16 yr old Jeep for the dirty stuff like trash and garbage for
the recycling center. Yes, I live in a town where there is no garbage
nor trash pickup. We take our stuff there weekly. It's a great place to
meet people...and pick up good recycling stuff.

Leaky gasoline...jugs? Don't you think that's dangerous?

Sure!

It's not like they're spewing all over the place. <G> Sometimes, the
jugs will get a slight leak at the cap. I'm only going a few miles from
the station to home with my lawnmower, snowblower, or kerosene heater jugs.

I still don't want it on the carpet.

OK, I open the door, get into the car, shut the door.

I then put my seat belt on.

Oh, oh, the seat back goes back on me.

It seems that the seat belt strap wrapped around the seat back
adjustment lever. You pull on the belt and accidentlally adust the seat
back. This has happened to me countless times.

Why is the %*&^&)$%# adjustment lever in line with the seat belt strap?

Yeah, yeah, I should be more observant. Except this is my wife's car and
I drive it once in a blue moon.

Jeesh!

I just had this happen to me in my '01 OBS. It wouldn't happen if the
belt reeled in properly.
