My original '91 200 20v TQA was totalled when a 4x4 driver, who
was enjoying slipping, sliding and hot dogging in some fresh
snow, failed to get his truck back in his lane and rammed into
the right two thirds of the rear of my wagon.  The impact pushed
the right side rear to within about a foot of the regular back
seat.  The middle part of the rear was a bit less than two feet
from the rear seat.  I would not put any children in the space
where the back of my wagon used to be.
