e. Your camera will be in the trunk and you have a photo shoot to do for work in 25 minutes

Thank goodness for the tiny hatch in the back seat (behind the armrest) the size of a Chihuahua. After unlocking it with the ignition key, we were able to hook the camera bag strap with a coat hanger and pull it up the hatch and pull the Nikon out.

It was a very exciting day!

AG out!

PS - Bob and his nephew appear to have hit the road. Here's hoping they don't show up in your neighborhood!

This is exactly what happened to me while skiing in New Mexico. Apparently, my 4-Runner does not like snow and/or high altitudes. Stoopid SUV.
