Definitely. Every time I am giving people a ride I tell them to lift their feet up and watch the sideskirt when they get in/out.

I seem to manage the groceries fine. Just as long as I place them as carefully as possible. The coffee on the other hand is a huge pain in the ***. I clean my cupholders regularly.

This reminds me of the Rachael Leigh Cook "This is your brain on drugs" commercial. This could be a campaign on why you should wear your seatbelt

LOL - or drive with a 3/4 filled cup of water in the front cup holders and make sure the water doesn't spill while you're taking those turns.

You need a trunk net. They may be available for the X at mitsubishiparts.net. I have a (factory) trunk net in my IX. It cost all of ~$25 and it prevents groceries from turning into cruise missiles on the way home.

Edit - here's a pic:

It's more like lack of law enforcement in North San Diego County- I haven't seen a cop doing radar work for months and months. dirty little secret I guess- the only cops still working are in the bad areas doing gang task force stuff or on the interstate in the usual spots.

So it is a free for all- I can hardly help myself- actually considering selling the evo because of this.

I'm with you on this. I have to remind them it's not a step.
