Default How to soften the ride

My son called and was in a bind to pick up some paint and drive it about 30 miles to his office where painters were on the clock waiting. Sure, no problem I said, I can bring up a couple gallons of paint. Skip ahead to the paint store and the kid comes out with the paint....3 five gallon buckets and six gallon cans!
Gallons go in the back under the ragtop roof, just barely. One five gallon bucket on the floor and two on the seat. A contractor picking up his paint stood and chuckled while I loaded it.
The drive was so smooth with the extra weight.
