I replaced the driver's seat in my car with a hammock. Is this ok? |
|
Or is Johnny Law gonna get on my ass?
I've also installed an in-dash hibachi and replaced my turn signal with a beer tap.

1. Thats sounds great to me |
|
Can I get you to do the same in my car? Maybe not, its a sports car and rather cramped I'm afraid. The beer tap sounds especially nice!

2. Mine's a cramped sports car, too - the hammock sure is comfy! |
|
Yeah, it's hard to reach the brakes right away, blah blah blah OSHA bullshit blah, but who cares? It's comfy!

6. It's great! It just swings with the turn. |
|
Of course, some times it swings so far out I can't hold the steering wheel any more, but once that happens the car starts to go straight again anyway, so the hammock comes down and I can grab the wheel again.
It's especially wonderful on a nice day with the top down.

5. Don't laugh, but about 10 years ago we had a family reunion |
|
at Hammonasset State Park in Madison, CT. It started to rain, so we all decided to head for one of the gazebo type structures until the shower passed.
My cousin...not known for his intellectual prowess, obviously, stuck the hibachi in the trunk of his car and closed the lid so the fire wouldn't go out.
And people say I am stupid.

15. "Yeah, officer, I *was* going a little fast... |
|
could I interest you in a brat? I have some grilled potatoes and butter here, too...I had some beans going, but when I hit the gas at that last stop sign, the can slid off the hibachi into the fish tank. I got Molson on tap here, too, if you'd like..."

13. You MIGHT have problems with the beer tap. |
|
I mean, I think it's a great idea, but these people might disagree... http://www.madd.org/home/

19. Damn that Johnny Law and his laws, anyway |
|
What the hell good are they?
Putting a hibachi in your dashboard should be a God-given American RIGHT!

17. Might have a bit of difficulty |
|
when you go down a steep hill and fall backwards out of it...or go up a steep hill and bonk your head on the driver's wheel. :silly:

18. So long as you have a seatbelt on your hammock, |
|
there should be no problem. Happy motoring.
