    That looks like the trunk floor, not the gas tank. While I would not have done it that way, if it is used to only carry an external bicycle rack or something along those lines, I have seen much worse ways of securing those.
    I think you're right...unless it's a Ford Pinto ;)

    Our son. Our poor, poor son :# was the "lucky recipient" :o of a 2004 Ford Freestar (was that what they were called?). The successor to the Windstar - Ford changed the name in a vain hope to think consumers wouldn't realize it was the same danged vehicle. Battlevan II in his parlance at the time -- successor to Battlevan, which was, in fact, a 1998 Windstar Limited :p -- the latter BV met its demise at ca. 133k miles with an action-packed total automatic transmission meltdown at speed on a freeway in a bad part of Worcester -- in the middle of the night. On a weekend.
    At any rate, without going into details as to why BVII had even entered our lives -- he and I were washing it one day. I think he was home from college. I was being a good car washer and washing the roof... and I discovered an odd wound up there.

    I think I posted about it here way back when, as a matter of fact. Actually, maybe not -- but I did post it at AK:
    https://audiokarma.org/forums/index.php?threads/dont-laugh-anyone-here-willing-to-admit-to-ford-freestar-expertise.667251/
    Still puzzled by the etiology. Space debris, perhaps? Passing Boeing jet? ( :# too soon?)

    PS I know it isn't in the right place, but the wound on the Benz that @SeleniumFalcon posted reminds me of the incision made to hack into modern car electronics to steal 'em. :|
    It looks like a fairly modern Benz.

    It looks like that the Winstar wound would measure about 9mm in width, or possibly .40 inches.

    entrance or exit wound?
    Maybe that's why the thing was quite inexpensive. :#

    It was, in fact, an ex-salesperson's car from my employer (Wyeth). Turned out that Wyeth had an annual program where they sold off-lease vehicles from their salesforce to... well, pretty much whomever in the company that wanted one, cheap. I never expected to own another minivan, but they are the perfect vehicle to move a college-age kid to/from a dorm. It also came in handy moving my father and some of his stuff from MD to NC when he sold the ol' family home and downsized to an apt in southern NC (near the SC border and not too far from Charlotte). Passed it along to our son sometime around the last couple of years he was in college. He had it 'til he was in his first real job post-doc.
    High-ish mileage but only a couple of years old when we got it. Kind of dinged up but in very good operating condition. Got our money's worth out of it when it was all said and done, and - unlike the aforementioned Windstar - it never stranded anyone. :|

    Kind of establishing a system of shidduch right here on CP 🤔👍
    Most excellent 🤗

    So all I have to do is find a Nash Rambler ... I'll try substituting with a Dodge Neon with sleeping bags...
    Not only do we get excellent audio advice from the good Doc but I can see we also have a good source for dating tips ! 👍🤗
    😇😀
