We have a new Town and country mini van and we had to go searching in the back end.

It's a pain to get the front and back lines on; so few cars come with easy to reach tie downs, but this tale is a good incentive to put in that extra effort.PenobscotPaddleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16592313025258461946noreply@blogger.com
