Please for god's sake read this owner's manual carefully before you unpack the device. You already unpacked it, didn't you? You unpacked it and plugged it in and turned it on and fiddled with the knobs, and now your child, the same child who once shoved a polish sausage into your videocassette recorder and set it on "fast forward", this child also is fiddling with the knobs, right? We might as well just break these devices right at the factory before we ship them out, you know that?!?

Antonio - I got these from Performance Products. As I have zero experience with towing, I'll let others answer your question.

I've got more questions regarding the tie downs, and I'll start another thread.

Pirate fail. If you're gonna attack a ship at sea, probably best to make sure it's not a US Navy ship first... lol.

So, ETOH was not a factor?

SOUTH HADLEY, Mass. – Authorities say an all-terrain vehicle plunged over a cliff in the middle of the night in a western Massachusetts park, injuring six people.

South Hadley District Fire Chief David Keefe says some victims may have tumbled as much as 700 feet when the ATV went over the cliff in Skinner State Park at about 1:30 a.m. Sunday. Keefe says he doesn't know how anyone survived.

He says it took 55 rescuers about four hours to rescue the victims.

The four most seriously injured were taken to Baystate Medical Center in Springfield. Two were taken to Holyoke Medical Center. Names were not immediately released, but all the victims are between 20 and 35 years old.

Four of the victims had critical injuries, though all are expected to recover.

Need a photo. I've been to that park, and did some of my training at Baystate.

Were any of them the kids who were indicted for bullying that Irish girl to the point of suicide?
