   Same here; but the last hook-based system isn't bad. The chair is backerd up   
   againsta bumper, them there are two hooks on hreavy duty cables on a vacum   
   cleaner cord-like pulley so judst yank & hook one, two. . done.   
      
   Getting them off can be a pain, as the driver's maniacal speeding around   
   corners tends to twist the chair a bit, tightening the connections.   
      
   If the driver listens to me, we get me out in quick time, as I know the tricks   
   by now.

   I bet the term "Tristate area" gets thrown around?

   Could be that what you mainly remember is your mom telling the story?
