Nate, go take a look at the backseat of some F-Body Camaro or Firebird and see how easy it was.

Not everyone had parents with an Oldmobile Vista Cruiser or Ford Galaxy, back then.

Dare I ask what Apartment only means?

Anyways, here's some pics of my car, and the item in question... not the girl, she's working till 8:30, but.... yeah

I'm still trying to understand why they'd put bucket seats into the back of a car... damn thoose engineeres. Luckly, I have a "crossover" style rear seat (ie, the center part is a brick, but the side parts are comfy) Wish they'd have made it a bit wider, but o well
