I guess I needed to put the obligatory " : ) " for you after my comments.

Or would "/sarcasm" be better for you?

Considering that several people in the thread have already commented that 'it's no big deal', apparently thinking that the lid was open or that it was only for a short distance, your comment was entirely in keeping with those.

Differentiating your comment with some sort of indication that you understood the article would be nice for everybody, in order to convey your meaning better.  As it was, there was no reason why your comment shouldn't be lumped in among the others who thought that this was nothing more than kids riding in an open trunk down to the store.

Normally I find the 'sarcasm' tag unnecessary and redundant, but many here appear to be misreading the article and so clarity is nice   :-)

No hard feelings, I hope?  :-)
