And you say this in jest. I actually bought an Alfetta GT in which 
the strut had lost all its pressure and the owner included the stick 
(spade handle actually I recall) he used as a substitute. You're 
certainly correct about the hatch being a fair weight to hold up one 
handed as the other hand fished around for the stick.
