IF, like mine, your first thoughts about Jim's 3-pronged response to Joe's
creative idea were:
1. Duct tape;
2. He didn't mean the car he drives, he meant one of the others (yard
cars); AND
3. See 2.
THEN (again like me), You MIGHT be a ..............

Hmmm, been most interesting. If I tried this with my 1999 Dodge Stratus, and
my open frame BC-610 transformer, two things would occur:
1.) rust since my trunk seal leaks
2.) my gas mileage will suffer noticeably as well as car handling
and maybe,
3.) If I get into an accident, the dang thing might smash me where I sit in
the drivers seat. A BC-610 transformer flying through the air is not easily
stopped!

I'm sure may be too simplistic to work but.....
why not put the xformer in the trunk of a
car and leave it there, outside in the sun, for
a week or month. Here in KY that works for
most everything. I've dried apples this way ;-)
