[DeTomaso] Horror Stories....Re: Trailering Tiedown Points

[Mark McWhinney]

Last year we had a new owner engage a line lock then found his car then next
morning had rolled into the garage door.  Fortunately, there was no real
damage.

Those line locks are bad juju.  There always seems to be horror stories with
them.

Mike

When installing a line lock just put the line lock on one line, meaning you 
would still have brakes to stop the car from rolling down the drive. Right?
