Planning to take the kids, the water skis, half a ton of luggage and your Irish Setter? Join the happy throngs. Tens of thousands of families will be out there on the super highways with you, haul- ing trailers, boats, car top carriers and — in too many cases — more weight than their cars are prepared to handle. To be sure your car is up to the task, have a talk with your automotive service man about the services you'll need to be safe. For Safety's Sake Remember that brakes will have additional energy to absorb under heavily loaded conditions. Your shock ab- sorbers will have extra work to do, too. Your engine has to be in tune so it will have the get- up-and-go it needs to pass other cars safely and help you avoid possible problems. Steering must be right — and tight. How about your tires? Can they safely carry all that weight? Remember the little things, too— the smeary windshield wiper you've been intending to replace and the turn signal that went on the un-blink last week, Estimate Load The best way to handle a pre-trip auto check-up is to estimate the load you will be carrying. Tell your mechanic that you'll have 200 pounds of luggage on top, the family inside — including Aunt Til- lie's reported 180 pounds in the back seat—and your out- board motor in the trunk. Then ask him, with that in mind, to bring everything right up to snuff and replace anything that might be on the verge, so you won't be stuck with a problem out in the middle of nowhere. Avoid concentrating too much of your load in the rear of the trunk. This can lower the rear end excessively, af- fecting your car's handling and its headlight aim. Once you are properly packed and you know the car can carry the load, kemem- ben that it will handle differ- ently with all that weight. This is especially true if you use a car top carrier, which adds the elements of wind re- sistance and higher position- ing of weight. Don't push yourself — or the car — and you, Aunt Til- lie and the kids ought to have the best vacation yet. .
