I did drive it but the traffic was so heavy I did not go as far as I would have liked. There is no grab bar in the car at present.

Great car to take the grand-kids out for Ice cream. You can have them home eating their cones before the ice cream even begins to melt.

Tom, I'm going to go full pooper here: no head rests? I would have thought that would be required for new production. I got rear-ended hard in my dearly departed E30 cherry and holy crap, my neck hurt for 3 days with headrests. I'd hate to know what it would have been like without them.

Maybe the "crumple zones" were designed better on that model, so no need for head rests.

They do detract from clean, classic lines. I popped into a garage recently to get to get an item pressed on - cool shop, seems there's always some valuable classic getting worked on. This day they had a cherry Stingray. The absence of head rests sort of stood out.
