Re: This might not have been a good idea, but...
I am glad you don't go wheeling around here.
Think about what you did. You fully expected that you could support the
weight of your vehicle. Most of us can't support our own body wieght, some
of us can support not only our own weight but that of our spouse as well.
Some is us can support our own weight, and the weight of our spouse, and
still be able to carry a sack or two of cement. None of us can carry our
car. You faced death, and won.
