> So, we went to home depot in #4.  Picked up #1, #2, and #3 Friday.
> Went back yesterday, picked up 12 of #5.  Yes, we fit them IN THE
> BACK SEAT OF THE CONVERTIBLE, with about 4-5' of big wood logs
sticking
> up out over the back of the back seat (with the other ends wedged
under
> the driver and passenger seats).  Looked really funny, and as one guy
> said in the parking lot, "Damn, dude, you need a truck."
