Just an interesting note on seat-belts. My Wife, and I have been stopped 2 times, by local police, for seat belt infractions in our 77 Dodge Van. Which was only equipped with lap belts, (which we were wearing) The officers that stopped us, thought Every thing had shoulder belts. They were younger than the van!!.Just thought you'd get a rise out of that. Ya'll have a nice day. Dave (FL.)
