No.......... dummy of the month goes to the guy (me) who put 4 bags of
groceries in his trunk, did a quick check for clearance and dropped the lid.
Oh S#@T........... there was a soda bottle in one bag taller then the trunk.
Now I've got a tiny reverse ding with a hairline crack in the paint. You
gotta look close but it's all there. My golf team captain would give me the
DF Award for that move.
