Hmmm, we grew up with station wagons that had the exact same setup ... just no seat belts.

you're right

i just checked and see that this is a hatchback config with rear facing child seats, like those wagons. i had assumed it was a trunk on the model s.

Sorry, didn't see your followup

Ontario, Canada.

A lot of them make what we call the Sunshine List, which is any public employee that makes over $100K a year.

503 Service Unavailable

Of course after the incompetent liberals approved a one year pay raise of 8.5%, that's to be expected.

How much of that is due to overtime?

You usually do more research than this; you are slipping.

it's marketed as a sedan, not a hatchback.

Damn, you keep editing your comments before I can finish my response ... I am trying to think of a hatchback that has seating back there. Maybe that's why it is a sedan.

if you're gonna try and play gotcha, well...........

anyway, a trunk is no place to stuff the kids. for several reasons and i also would not put the kids in the hatch of a model s, due to rear collision safety.

Where do you live that cops are paid $90k a year? Or are you suggesting that is how much the entire force combined receives?

Same here in our town as well 100K+ for most of them...some of the highest paid around

sorry, i meant it's dangerous to stuff the kids in the trunk, not that there are seats in it.

Pretty much the same thing. Unless you say that sitting there is somehow only dangerous for kids, but not adults.

Baddog, were your seats legit (not "home made" lol) in the trunk of station wagon?
Usually station wagons have looong trunks and definitely no seats, rear end collision is not a problem like in this tesla.

Check out how far away from the back of the car is the last row of seats in a modern station wagon:

I wonder if baddog did actually have seats in that crashed part of the car... never saw that

Can't wait to get my Tesla so I can go bonkers. Now I'm on my second Prius. #CarbonImprint

they were legit seats. Back when you could buy a station wagon the size of a bus, covered in fake wood grain, and with a 460 cubic inch big block.

sweet ride.
