yeah - my dad just told me not to slam on my brakes - "You don't want anyone slamming into the back of this car".
HollyGolightly - my mom had a Pinto for a while. Do y'all remember the movie Top Secret! It was a very bad Val Kilmer movie. In one scene, there is a Pinto and a bunch of baddies are heading right for it. They slam on the brakes, and stop and all breath a sigh of relief. Then they ease forward and lightly touch the bumper. BOOM!

Very nice. Mad Max meets Steve McQueen.Drove my parents' car, a 1967 Barracuda (web picture, not one of their car), small V-8. The back seat folded down forward, and the trunk partition folded down backward, for about 7 feet of... ummm.... storage room for camping equipment, yeah, that's it, with a big ol' picture window just up above for the ... ummm... camping equipment to look through.

For my chariot, I had a ... forget the year ... Honda CB100, again, a photo off the web. Grandma and I went on our very first date on this little thing.
