[DML] Re: Lowering (and speeding in Toronto)

["robert parker" <roberthparker@xxxx>]

A tip for "putting on a DeLorean": Enter it like a jet- hold on to the 
fiberglass/rubber front water trough, swing right leg in, use arms to 
leverage gluteus Maximas onto seat, lower body into comfortable position, 
swing left leg in, buckle up, & prepare to DRIVE. Also saves wear on seat 
edges & arm rest extension. Drive Stainless Robert VIN 6924
