Nothing unlikely, all pretty much as one might expect.

VW beetle with no park brake, knocked it out of gear on a slope. Timing of the impact was perfect.

I guess I have to weigh in-my 1981 Rabbit-date on passenger seat-me with knees on floor, feet up over dash pad, tops of feet resting on it, holding onto the center console with right hand, passenger safety belt (crossbelt) with the left. A physicist once called me a liar. Somebody pulled into the new housing development under construction we had chosen and we had to bug out sans pants. Ahhhh youth.....

For forum significance I did do it in a 240d once, back seat.

71 Chrysler Newport. I could have put a wide screen TV in there and had room for seven.

I received a Monica Lewinsky by my college girlfriend while driving in a 1986 Audi 4000.

Back seat of a 1988 Toyota Celica GT. Anyone here that has met me IRL knows that this must have been nearly impossible.

Girl wife went to school with claimed VW Beetle with sunroof works. Come to think of it, she married guy I went to HS with. Ok, I believe it! (What can I say about our HS? Six guys graduated in the morning and got married that evening)

This thread reminds me of the "decapitation" scene in the movie The World According to Garp.
