Reminds me of my college days. I had an electric guitar that I brought to school in the back of my car. Kept it in the back hatch area. When I had spare time between classes, I would sometimes go out to the parking lot and practice.

I'll never forget the day I closed the lid, but left the latches open on the case. When I got home, I opened the back hatch, grabbed the case handle, and pulled it out. The guitar fell hard, directly onto the pavement, from hatch-height. OUCH. Lots of damage to the translucent laquer on the body, in a couple of places. God, I felt bad about that.

Guitar still plays great, though.
