Pretty cool... Seems that you're a bit more svelte than myself, tho... how
do you think they'd hold up leverage-wise to a (ahem) somewhat heavier
person? Does it feel weird at all having that large gap at the bottom?
I don't think I could get away with doing that in my van; my wife is right
at five feet tall and it'd probably be uncomfortable for her. I'm working on
getting another van, however... hmmm.
