I need more cars with this feature, best seat in the house

>not being able to say where you are going

>>17259583

haven't safety regs killed this idea off? shame, my scout troop used to have to cram into old wagons with these seats and there would always be a fight for these rear ones, good times

The actual safest car in the world has them, see >>17259661

>>17259583
people get motion sick easier when facing opposite to the motion of the vehicle.

>>17259664
do we have rear impact tests for this kind of seating? looks like almost no crumple zone

>>17259664
>safest car in the world
It isn't. Stop with the retarded marketing meme.

Best deal ever.

Nope. Never been tested.

Happened to me as a kid in an old Ford wagon.

I've honestly never been more terrified in all my life.

Car runs a red through an intersection, hits us, spins us into oncoming traffic, watch as a pickup locks up it's brakes and heads straight into me, biggest fucking hit, I black out, parents get all kinds of fucked up, i'm apparently made of rubber and just bruised, i'm thankful as fuck that cars didn't have "crumple" zones back then.

Nothing about that setup makes sense. How could the crafty Japs half-ass something so badly?

>>17259583
I hate those. Don't want to look at someone's kids while I'm driving.

>>17259619
Didn't they have a minibus?
Mine did. Rusted old Transit minibus. Absolute miracle it still ran after sitting for years, and we had a huge fuckoff trailer that we'd created on the chassis of a caravan that got destroyed by vandals.
So we had convoys of a few typical scout leader cars, which were estate cars and mini-MPVs, and my dad's big Jeep after he got it. And this shitty ancient minibus with a huge trailer made of plywood, making their way down the motorway to the summer camp every year.

Those look like a pretty good idea to me. Load the bed up, go camping with your buddies, then you can sit in the backs of your pickups with a beer and shoot the shit.

>>17259698
It isn't. "The six stars" meme was debunked by the very agency that tested it.

>>17259619
From my understanding they were phased out not because of crash safety but more because small amounts of exhaust gas could leak into the rear and essentially gas your kids. Modern cars seal better I guess so they're starting to come back, and Teslas obviously have no exhaust so they brought them back as well.

Not a comfy rumble seat?

>>17260413
that looks terrifying

>>17259755
They had to include one in order to import it I believe. Not intentional

>>17260413
Imagine being rear ended while sitting in that

>>17260214
>because small amounts of exhaust gas could leak into the rear and essentially gas your kids
My grandfather owned a Crown Vic wagon with the seats like >>17259721
We'd ride in the back with the tailgate window rolled down. In retrospect, the car smelled like shit so we were probably getting a hefty dose of exhaust as the rolled-down window created a low pressure zone and sucked it all back at us. I inherited the car and still have it, one day I hope to gas my own kids.

>like how all bicycle sold in stores come with a tiny bell

I'm tempted to reattach that on my bike. People just don't have any situational awareness when walking on a cycle path.
Even looking right at me, they STILL don't move.
Someday, someone is going to be shoved into the river.

>>17263135
Before you feel tempted enough to actually buy it instead of just typing here about buying it, why not get something like this?

a bell or what ever can almost deny people some motive to yell at you
types with an external striker tend to last a little longer
also if your going slower than 5 kp/s spoke beads make a bit of noise
>>17263148
neat
I've just got a hand pumped one made of brass and nickel

>>17263148
Because it's not a case of 'buying' it. I have a few kicking around in a box in the garage.
If I really want to make a loud noise, I can just yell at them, but I'm not adding weight or drag to the bike.
I'm surprised that american cyclists don't just end up shooting bad drivers, though. When someone passes less than a foot from your elbow, it seems a natural thing to draw on them and fire a few rounds through their windows.

It's not legal to deal with problems the free way, it have to go through a court so the money ends up in jewish pockets.
