I remember a like situation, I had a canvas camper shell like top
on my Ford pick'em up and thought my teenage sister-in-law and boyfriend
might have fun playing grab ass in the back with the sleeping bags and
gear, on the way camping. So pulling my Jeep must have made the same
vortex you tell of, any way grinding up this hill was too much for them
and they beat on my cab window until they got our attention and we piled
six on the seat for the remainder of that trip.

Sorry to disappoint you, Bill, I didn't itemize that year and I didn't take a
deduction for the move because it wasn't work-related.
