       | The one myth they did that I was truly concerned for their safety
       | was when they piled a bunch of lumber and construction material
       | on top of a Volkswagen Jetta and drove around. Having owned one,
       | I had _no_ confidence that the roof structure was strong enough
       | to support it all. I think they were lucky that it didn 't
       | collapse and kill them, even though they wedged a 4x4 in there
       | for support.
