We cleared the hanging bar that supposedly indicated "Max Headroom". Well, driving around looking for a vacant spot the top of the van started to scrape the ceiling. Now there's a creepy feeling. My garage doors are a bit over an inch too low just to pull it in. So I set the tire pressure down to 12 psi and drive right in. Then I fill them back, fearing that they might not like to set like that for long. Haven't pulled a Clark Griswald yet. Tom Salicos '87 Syncro Westy EG-33 |
