[s-cars] Seats No Move

[Ian Duff]

I made the mistake of leaving the seat alone after I slid it back to  
move my great aunt's Trans-Am. I'm like 6'1", she was a smidge over  
4'. Maybe 4'6" in heels. The visuals when I realized what I had done  
were too much, and I had to pull over. Strong seat adjustment spring,  
I had images of the USS Enterprise catapult launching her through the  
windshield. Way before cell phones, and I didn't know the number of  
the relative's house we had all been visiting, so I had to tip-toe  
into the next family reunion, peeking at my great aunt, checking if  
she had a bandage over her broken nose, or new dentures in front.  
Nope. Saved.

The image of you jammed up against the wheel brought back memories of  
me trying unsuccessfully to get into her Trans-Am to move it in the  
first place. Thanks for the memory, and the chuckle.

-Ian Duff.

ps, she was one cool aunt, her last car before she voluntarily gave up  
her license was that Trans-Am. I think it was a '69, she had it for  
years. This one had the special prescription steering wheel option, as  
well, since she viewed the road by peering between through the  
steering wheel.
