My advice is toss it on the rear seat, or on the side of the trunk. I've been there done that, I learnt quickly after I was bothered with the constant turning off. _________________

Pushing 1 10" shallow driver isn't much of a workout! If you have trouble with it cutting out, put it somewhere else. _________________
