Thats not true at all.
If I had to guess the #1 reason we would face serious liability if an incident happened.. it is our great insurance. That is a deep pocket that any lawyer would try to reach into. They dont care about your 88 Plymouth voyager with clothes rack in the back with 28 different shirts and wadded up mcdonalds bags all over the place.. but millions in insurance.. yummy.
