I could not have said this better - I would love to know the answer to the
questions these guys pose.  I can understand putting a bra on to make a
cross country gravel road trip, say to your brother's dude ranch in Wyoming.
But tooling around suburbia with these things is about as dumb as using 94
octane gas.

Ducking and diving!

I second that. The same goes for seat covers in a new car- they always look
like cr at p because they never fit properly. And what do you have after
driving the car with the cr at ppy interior for years? A dented, rusty car
with an as-new interior... as if the next owner will care.
