This is your indoctorination to the red neck lifestyle Eric. If house trailers have tie-downs why not Buicks?

As long as the car doesn't become a kite...

Just remembered an old joke.

Phone rings.
"Hi, did you hear I bought a new car yesterday?"
"Cool. What does it look like?"
"You can check it out yourself, it should be flying by your window right about now..."

Yeah, but most house trailers use something more substantial than a garden hose.

Don't be so sure of that.

Ahem, that is a Mercury Grand Marquis, not a Buick Century. During Ike, my Crown Victoria did indeed experience 100+ mph winds and flying debris, but this was largely limited to a 100+ mph headwind resulting from a significant depression of the accelerator pedal while the car was in fourth gear with the engine running, and the debris was limited to every species of insect known to Texas.
Gotta love West-Texas roads, 80 mph limits, and with the Hurricane, a lot of the State Cops were down in the Houston area.

With all the miles and miles of nothingness, after a while you must wonder if you're getting anywhere since so little changes - even at 100+ MPH.
