Several years back, at the Solo II nationals, a BIG Kansas storm hit 
Topeka.  Scotty B. White had the canopy on his transporter tied to 55 gal. 
water barrels.

Under the sh&% happens rule, one of the barrels went into the air and came 
down on top of an enclosed trailer, went through the roof, and smashed 
Bruce Cambern's original, owned since new, never dented, 427 Cobra.

Myles's advice is well given!
