<VV> Re: Deck lids, Kelsey-Hayes wheels tangent

[J R Read_HML]

What is wrong with "Trunk Lid" and "Engine Lid?"  Seems clear to me.  If you 
open either for a youngster or other unknowing person, it SHOULD become 
obvious.

On the "sticker" thing...  I have a magnetic item -refrigerator magnet if 
you will - (don't know who made them so can't give credit) which says "The 
back is where it's at".  Hopefully, there is no sexual connotation 
involved - I would not know.

Later, JR
