    Kids in two seaters

    Just a thought on how times have changed. When I was a little kid (real little -- this is from one of my earliest memories) my parents had an MG two seater. When all three of us had to drive somewhere, they would just throw me up in the rear dashboard area, laying down. And I don't think anybody ever thought anything of it! Of course, this was in the late sixties, and I can remember that most cars didn't even have standard seat belts at the time, and certainly not any with chest straps.
