Jim's 4-gusset cases sure look impressive. I had a couple bad experiences with his trannys a few years ago but that's another story for another time.

car seats... ugh....    just spent 3.5 hours last night in a baby car seat class....  pretty scary what can happen if something goes wrong. No way I'd strap a baby into a frickin VW!

no doubt, i grew up playing in the package area behind the backseat of a 60 bug, no seat belts in the car. both my kids grew up riding around in various vw's ive owned. perfectly safe if your head is not up your ass.

I had the same living room space growing up. As a child my parents didn't have seat belts in their cars and I can remember one trip we took from Canada to Cali ; my domain being the rear package area. Now, as a parent of two beautiful boys all my cars I own have seat belts and we don't move an inch until their buckled.

he wants to mark his territory. it is a common thing with chickens as well. they need to know there picking-order. Jim is doing a good job in raising his boy and in letting him know who is boss. good one Jim. i slept three weeks in my sons bed and took all the presents he got, less the ones i didn't like.

yep i can relate, even if it is a pain in the @$$ to wait. everybody in their seatbelts.


and as far as safety is concerned, i believe in the protective properties of all those chairs, but if you get hit, it is all a matter of pure luck...  Undecided

Wow, you must have a high threshold for pain.  I can only sit on top of my kids car seats, and they pinch my fat ass.  3.5 hours like that and I'll tell you anything you want to know.

The main reason I put a cage in my car was for the kids safety not mine.
