Word to the Wise

If the diagonal length inside your car, front to back, is 9 1/2 feet long and you have some, say, quilt frames that are 10 feet long, the hatchback will not close. To clarify, for those who doubt my mathamatical (and spelling) abilities: Even if you rest one end of the frames on the dashboard at one end and sticking out the back at the other end and then slam down the hatchback, they will still not fit. In fact, the force of the hatchback closing onto one end is directly proportional to the size of the ensuing spider-webbing crack on the windshield at the other end.
