As you know I tend to drive my EuroVan in a spirited manner (put the ABS to use by late braking for exit ramps...etc)...unfortunately when the rear compartment is filled with grocery bags I get nasty surprises when I pop the rear hatch...namely 1/3 of the groceries tumble out. Rather than tone-down my driving style I bought a new toy for the EV (which can be used in the less-able-to-be-spirited-driven-Vanagons).. a Cargo Net from Griot's Garage (800-345-5789) For $17.95 they will sell you a net that is approx 18" tall by 50-60" long which attaches by self-adheisive or screw on hooks to the trunk....or in this case the opening of the rear hatch.. Now when I go wizzing around corners (as opposed to urinating into concomming traffic (see last week's discussion)) the groceries stay in place. Ric
