My harp went for it’s first trip in the Dodge Grand Caravan today. I can’t express how much easier it was than any car I’ve loaded into in the past. I had bought a chair mat — a shiny slippery one — to lay over the carpet in the back of the van to protect the harp from the seat hooks in the floor. I stowed all the seats. lay the mat down, put a yoga mat for added padding where the neck would be lying. I hit my key fob and pre-heated the car with the remote start, lifted the tailgate with the magical switch on the keyfob, leaned the harp back and slid ‘er in in a trice. It was really really amazing. The whole trip would’ve been just great had not the idiot who entered the freeway on my way home almost plowed into me. He decided to enter and swerve into my lane and then one more over to the left without signalling, and without regard for the fact that there were other cars in his way. I’m glad I saw him and could slow down. What a moron. I would just hate to get in an accident with my harp in the car.
