...you find cars with rear seats to be novelties. "Haha, look at me, I'm sitting *behind* the driver!"

I have an '87 Sport with what I'm told is the Moriah rear wing (de-tagged) so ppl always ask what it is.
"...your neighbor across the street fires up his chainsaw and you run to the window because you think your car is being stolen."
This happened to me while visiting a friend in San Fran and I almost slipped and fell trying to run to the window lol. My friend was laughing at me.
