They DO enjoy it, and they're not required to NOT do it.....
Laws of Math apply: quickest route is a straight line.....
SO....why waste a few feet of hose, that could easily get kinked if moved under the tire, or around the car body during the use, when you can just put it straight through the vehical with little to no trouble, and have a lovely 1-3 ton holding device? (keeps others outta the way of the line, don't it

)
....and yes...there really IS a firemarshal standing over my shoulder.....we're off to lunch now...cheers.
