Thanks everyone for all the nice comments. They do get a lot of attention.
As far as the heat and noise.......the exhaust is routed down and under the wagon so not much heat. And sliding on the seat......I've been clocked at 50 mph. The cornering is a different story. Yes you do slide a little, with the wide wheel base its not that bad. I'd like to have some type of back for the seat but can't come up with anything that looks right.
