SIX!?!?!?!?!?!?!? Is that like some kind of world record? The other day
when I drove my Spit around to the backyard, my son wanted all of us to ride
in it (my wife, 4 yr old son, 2 yr old daughter, and myself). I thought
about turning that parcel shelf into a backseat......... Not anymore. It was
fun for a 30 second ride, but not much longer!
