The darn rear trunk wouldn't stay latched. It turned out that latch was worn. To be more exact the long hard thing that goes in the hole wouldn't stay in. When it was young it never had that problem.

Most cars today won't see things like this happen, they'll just be tossed away.
Nice work! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) |
