Sandbags are in!

Well, I threw in the sandbags tonight... even though, I've got a crazy amount of tools in the bed... but it's always nice to have extra weight.

I hope my 20 mpg doesn't get affected too much. We'll see... eh?

I assume that this extra weight is for extra traction? It must suck to live where it actually gets cold!

If you're still going the 800 pounds of sand, like last year, I'd expect you'll be feeling it at the pump....

Don't forget that if you do start to slide, all that extra weight in the back is going to keep you sliding along.

I used to put patio stones in the back. But haven`t over the years. If the road gets that bad I use 4 hi thats what its there for.

Jeez Manual, learn how to use that clutch! Then you won't need all that weight!
