    Female. Probably an Asian female. Most likely an Asian female who's older.

    If I were the builder I'd be using this in all of my advertising material.

    I can believe it since you're the most overtly racist member here. But hey, at least you don't try and hide it.

    Tearnan's not so bad once he sobers up.

    Problem is, that's not too often.

    Actually, most truss systems are designed to hold over 55 lbs per square foot.

    The caddy has a length of 17 feet and a width of 7.

    7x17=119

    119 x 55 = 6545 lbs

    Caddy with leather trim weighs 5450 ....... No sweat

    Nice analysis, except you are ignoring that maybe 2/3 of the weight of a car is in the front 1/3 with the engine block and front axle....distributed equally across a square foot for each front tire?

    Actually, looking at the pic it's a nice physics problem - that cement wall appears to be supporting a lot of the cars weight.

    I only dislike Asians. They are like gingers and don't have souls.

    I don't live in the hood, or retirement village...so I don't see any caddies.

    I also voted for slant eyed asian because it seemed like the least plausible; which in essence makes it the best choice for a contest like this.
